Later she would move with her family to New York.

Some time later she returned to Colombia and appeared in Los Monachos with María Angélica Mallarino [es], on the TV series Oki Doki, and the telenovela Tan cerca y tan lejos [es]. Shortly afterward, she became part of the Rapsoda group of the Corporación Colombiana de Teatro, directed by Patricia Ariza. There she acted in the play Guadalupe años sin cuenta. She then appeared on the telenovela Vuelo 1503 [es].^[3] In 2009, she played the protagonist Brenda on the telenovela The Mafia Dolls.^[4]

In theater, she has appeared in the plays Poses para dormir, El club del tropel, La bella durmiente, En el cielo también hay paisas, Los guardianes de la paz, Borges, and Cartera. On television she has appeared in No renuncies Salomé [es], Sin senos no hay paraíso, and El cartel de los sapos.^[3]

In 2007, she received the Best Actress award at the Bogotá Film Festival for the film Paraíso travel [es].^[5]

In 2011, she starred in 3 milagros on RCN Televisión, and 180 segundos [es], a film by RCN Cine.^[6]

She was the center of controversy in March 2021 when, in reaction to an incident in which a Bogotá police officer was killed, she posted to Instagram, "Well, good, it has been a long time since we received such news.
