lives and works in Madrid. She studied at the University of Design, Architecture & Urbanism of Buenos Aires, and at ECAM (Madrid), where she received a diploma in documentary filmmaking. In 2020, she finished a postgraduate course in Filmmaking studies at Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (University of the Basque Country, Donostia-San Sebastián).

Some of her works have been shown at The Film-Makers' Coop (New York), Círculo de Bellas Artes (Madrid), Cineteca (Madrid), La Casa Encendida (Madrid), MediaLab Prado (Madrid), BilbaoArte (Bilbao), CCCB (Barcelona), Tabakalera (Donostia-San Sebastián), Sala de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid, Matadero Madrid, among others.

She currently works as an independent graphic designer and filmmaker remotely from Madrid.
