Freya has shown an interest in dancing and singing since her childhood.[5] Admiring Barbie and Girls' Generation (SNSD), she considered career opportunities that aligned with these interests.[6] After graduating from elementary school, Freya moved to Jakarta and immediately auditioned for JKT48, where she successfully passed the auditions.[7] She auditioned for the seventh generation of JKT48 in 2018 and was accepted into the group at the age of 12, thus initiating her career in the entertainment industry. Freya officially started as a trainee member in Academy Class B on September 29, 2018. However, on October 25, 2018, she did not pass the initial stage of the Class B Academy Exam. As time went by, she was eventually promoted to Academy Class A on December 18, 2018.[8][9] She also participated in the JKT48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo in 2018, but did not rank in the top 32.[8]

Freya first came into the spotlight when she went viral on Twitter in 2020. Later, on June 2, 2020, Freya joined JKT48's Team T.[10][8] The following year, on March 12, 2021, she officially became a member of the seventh generation of JKT48 and transferred into JKT48 New Formation.[8][9] Freya has a Jikoshoukai or self-introduction that goes, "Gadis koleris yang suka berimajinasi, terangi harimu dengan senyum karamelku. Halo aku Freya!" ("A choleric girl who loves to imagine, light up your day with my caramel smile. Hello I'm Freya!"). She has a fairly loyal fanbase among JKT48 fans, known as Freyanation.[1][2][11]

In September 2022, she was appointed as a representative member of JKT48 and was invited to deliver a discourse at the Indonesia Millennial and Gen-Z Summit 2022, held in Jakarta.[12][7]
