She has also benefited from master classes and private lessons with great masters, among others Rodney Friend, from the Royal College of London, in England, and Olivier Jung, leader of the Orchestre National de Montpellier, in France.

In this last style, she has been soloist for well-known artists on both continents, playing in Canada, USA, France, Spain, Portugal and Netherlands.

He has played many times at the Montreal International Jazz Festival (with the Millenium Orchestra Big Band, Colin James, Oliver Jones, Barclay Road, Shirley Basset and Diane Schurr). He has also played in the Montreal's Olympic Stadium (with Orchestre Métropolitain) and at the Toronto Jazz Festival (with the Dennis Christiansen Big Band).
