She serves as a teacher at Naranja Academy in the Paldea region, where she specializes in teaching Battle Studies and has a particular focus on Fighting-type Pokémon.

In the anime, she's portrayed as an energetic, enthusiastic, and upbeat young woman with a passion for physical training, battling, and motivating her students.

She typically wears a black track jacket and pants paired with yellow fingerless gloves, fitting her active and martial-arts-inspired style.

Her role emphasizes hands-on battle instruction, and she maintains that lively, supportive personality seen in the games while adapting to the anime's storylines involving the academy and its students.
