Career

A graduate and licensed journalist from Diego Portales University, her first job in the media was in 2010, when she did her internship in the sports area of Televisión Nacional de Chile, where she was responsible, among other things, for covering the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[citation needed]

A year later she joined Canal del Fútbol, where she worked as a reporter and hosted the program Rank, which reviewed archival footage of the best moments in Chilean football. She quickly became a regular on the channel and became its main female face. She soon became the main anchor of CDF Noticias, the channel's flagship newscast.

After more than three years at Canal del Fútbol, in July 2014 she changed television networks, joining the newly launched sports channel Fox Sports Chile, taking over as host of the news program Central Fox Chile alongside former player, now sports commentator Rodrigo Goldberg.

In January 2015, she was one of the journalists in charge of covering the 2015 Dakar Rally for all of Latin America through the Fox Sports channel. She took over from Alina Moine.

In August 2016, she was surprisingly fired from Fox Sports Chile along with another colleague for promoting a competitor's product on social media. She then co-hosted the program Buen Vivir on Radio FM Tiempo[es] with Vanesa Borghi[es] and Sebastián Keitel, co-hosted the program Cracks on the Vía X channel with Ivan Guerrero. She was also ESPN's correspondent in Russia for the Confederations Cup.

Since 2018 she has been a panelist and reporter on the Nexo ESPN program on ESPN Chile and on the Cónclave Deportivo program on Radio La Clave[es]. For Chilevisión she covered the 2018 Copa América Femenina. In 2025, she joined DirecTV Chile. She works as a reporter for DSports.
