Her projects in the area of photography feature "Theaters of Victims: Strip Clubs in America", "The Unknown Me to You", "The Past in the Present". In general, the themes on which she works concern the duplicity of immigrant's life viewing everyday life through its social aspects examined externally and internally, physically and psychologically.

Her patron is Daniel Power of the book and photography publishing "Power House Books". The project, called "Nomads", was published in the "FotoVisura" magazine and won the New York Photo Award for the best project in the students' category. In the summer of 2010 she signed a contract with WIN-Initiative – boutique stock Agency in New York, which in September 2010 organized an individual exhibition for her in Soho. The exhibition enjoyed great success.
