In addition to her committee assignments, she is part of the French Parliamentary Friendship Group with the Philippines. Since 2019, she has also been a member of the French delegation to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly and a substitute member of the French delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
She lost her seat to Véronique Besse in the 2022 French legislative election.
