Her work often touches on themes of identity, belonging, and the complex intersection between culture and consumerism. She completed a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Sculpture, at Curtin University in 2003, followed by postgraduate studies in curation and education. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout Australia, the Philippines, and the United States of America.
