Inizia infatti a ballare all'età di 7 anni e studia varie discipline tra cui: danza classica, jazz, moderno, contemporaneo, standard, salsa, bachata, merengue, hip hop, disco, samba brazilian style, bugg, boogie woogie, lindy hop, latino americani. A 19 anni si trasferisce in Australia ed entra a far parte del Cast di "Burn the Floor", famosissimo show a livello internazionale di danze Standard e Latino Americane. Con " Burn the Floor" è stata in tournee per due anni tra Asia, America, Europa e Australia. Rappresenta la Svezia a livello internazionale, diventando Campionessa Svedese imbattuta per 5 anni consecutivi. Nel frattempo, aggiunge successi al suo palmares, risultando finalista in tutte le maggiori competizioni mondiali Blackpool-Uk-International nella categoria Professionisti Latini RS. Viene invitata più volte nel programma TV Svedese Let's Dance, per esibirsi in qualità di campionessa nazionale e nel 2014 partecipa nel cast della trasmissione.

Cher che ha passato tutta la vita a camminare sui carboni ardenti, equilibrista in bilico sul filo della sua stessa esistenza. Cher che ha un bisogno mal saziato di amare, che sogna qualcuno che arrivi a salvarle la vita. Cher che, nell’attesa, sopravvive.In the deep è la storia dei due viaggi che ogni essere umano è chiamato a compiere. Quello del quotidiano, dell’oggi, delle persone, degli obblighi e dei piaceri, dei minuti, delle ore, delle maschere e dei ruoli, e quello dentro sé stessi, il più vero e violento, eppure necessario per vivere in maniera autentica la propria esistenza.In the deep è la storia di Cher, che poi è la storia di tutti, di una donna che per trovare la sua strada ha dovuto camminare al buio, che per diventare grande è tornata ad essere bambina, che per imparare a nuotare si è decisa a spingersi in profondità, più in là, dove non si tocca. È la storia di un’anima al buio, ad un passo dalla luce.
