When she was 16 years old, she began to sing and study music with her mum. Flavio, a Mexican famous tenor, started to provide her with more intense singing instruction. Her musical education continued at the School of Music of the University of Guadalajara, and afterward at the School of Sacred Music in Toluca, Mexico. When she was a student, as well as a young professional within Mexico City and Guadalajara she performed with various chamber groups and choirs. Following her move from Mexico to the United States at the age of 2000, she sang for the Fort Lauderdale Symphony Chorus. She has performed solo Latin American music for private events and also as part of Ensemble XXI in Redlands.
