She immigrated in 2017 from her native city and country Monterrey, Mexico, to pursue her dance studies in Canada.

Her most recent works include Universo de textos, pt.1-6, live streamed online through Aluna Theatre’s CAMINOS 2021, Siéntate bien performed live at Underscore Projects through CREATO’s “Nature with Nurture” 2021 exhibition, and Ojalá… showcased at The Citadel’s Night Shift 2022, co-produced with Fall for Dance North.
