She studied for an undergraduate degree in anthropology at Cenderawasih University in Jayapura, graduating in 1995. In 1996 she began work as a lecturer at the same university teaching anthropology, ethnography, folklore, amongst other subjects. She subsequently studied for her Master's degree at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, graduating in 2002. She studied for her PhD at the University of Gottingen in Germany, graduating in 2015. She is editor of the journal Jurnal Antropologi Papua. In 2021 she was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences; she is the first woman and the first indigenous Papuan to hold the role. She is also the first woman to hold any deanship at Cenderawasih University. She had previously held the role of Chair of the Department of Anthropology. In 2019 she was appointed Chair of the Cenderawasih University’s Center for Gender and Child Studies (PGSA). Her research interests include: women in West Papua, the Mooi people, the Napan-Wainame people, the Maybrat community and gender and health equality in West Papua. She collaborated with the Indonesian Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection to produce a research report entitled the ‘Profile of women and children in Papua Province’. One example of the research was to reveal that in 2017 there were 98 reported cases of violence against women and children, a figure that did not reflect women in Papua's lived experience.
