During her time as First Lady, she preferred to be referred to as the President's wife.[1] After the end of Lagos presidency, she was appointed executive director of the Youth and Children's Orchestras Foundation of Chile (2007-2010), and board member of Centro Cultural Matucana 100 and the Cultural Corporation of Santiago.
In 2013 she took over as director of the Corporación Cultural de Santiago.[2]
In 2017 she returned to the public arena, regarding her spouse's presidential pre-candidacy, declaring in an interview that she had apprehensions regarding Lagos' decision, in order "not to have to be on the spot again, and to have this permanent bullying".[3]
In October 2018 she resigned from the Party for Democracy.[4]
