Her work has been showcased in various exhibitions including Disruptive Design (2020) at Gales Gallery at York University and in the collective exhibitions Tech Art Fair (2019) at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, and Life in Flight performance video collaboration with Guillermina Buzio (2019), curated by Tamara Toledo, at Sur Gallery in Toronto.
