Early life and career

While she was in high school, she studied at the Colegio Superior de Piano, in Mar del Plata, from which she graduated as a piano teacher. She started working at 17 years old.

Since 2013 she worked for two years on the play Por qué las mujeres aman a los pendejos ―Where she played a psychoanalyst named Inés Table―, which she took on tour throughout Mexico alongside the actor Juan Frese. In April 2014 she received an award in Monterrey for the 1,850 performances of the play Claudio, ¿eres... eso?, about discrimination against the LGBT community. In 2015 she worked with Daniela Luján in Blanca Nieves: El Musical, which was performed on Sundays at the Julio Prieto Theater.
