Her first film appearance was in 1995's De amores y delitos: el alma del maíz, directed by Patricia Restrepo [es]. This was followed by Time Out in 1998, and A que te cojo ratón in 2000.[3]

In 2002, she received India Catalina [es] and TVyNovelas Awards for her supporting role in the telenovela Pedro el escamoso.[4][5] She also received an India Catalina Award for Pa' quererte in 2021.[6]

Most recently, she appeared in the telenovelas Til Money Do Us Part in 2022 and La Reina del Sur from 2022 to 2023.[1][7]
