She also studied the bassoon.[2] She obtained a Ph.D. in 1992 with the thesis "Richtiges Licht und gehörige Perspektive. Studien zur Funktion des Orchesters in der Oper des 19. Jahrhunderts", on the function of the orchestra in 19th-century opera.[2] She worked as a dramaturge at the Staatstheater Mainz, and from 1992 to 1995 as Orchestergeschäftsführerin and personal Referentin of Generalmusikdirektor Peter Erckens. She was an assistant at the Hochschule für Musik from 1995 to 2001, when she completed her habilitation. She then lectured at the Hochschule and was named außerplanmäßige Professorin in 2007.[2]
