Acting (2006–present)
As a child, Ronchese was featured in short films La llamada and Ente in small roles. She made a guest appearance on Centro médico in 2017, and then made her English-language debut as singer Angel X in 2018's Teen Spirit, directed and written by Max Minghella.[15]
In 2019, she was cast in the role of Joana Bianchi Acosta in season 2 of Skam España, based on the popular Norwegian teen drama series, Skam. Joana was the love interest of season 2's central character, Cristina "Cris" Soto Peña, played by actress Irene Ferreiro. In a break from the traditional Skam, where a season centers around the romance of two teenage boys, España chose to have the storyline revolve around two teenage girls, and the topics of bisexuality, borderline personality disorder, familial struggles, and dealing with problems and decision-making through Cris, Joana, and their relationship.[16][17]
She continued to appear on the show through seasons 3 and 4. The final episode aired in October 2020.
