Biography

She started studying classical dance. Later, she decided to study musical theatre. She got her first job on television after being selected to host for the Argentine sports channel TyC Sports.

After going through several jobs, a producer convinced her to study acting:

«I started in social club and sports, following the legendary Mar de Fondo... I never wanted to be an actress, but I liked it and everything came from there: Telefe, Videomatch, Los Felipe, Vale la Pena!, Franco Buenaventura. I failed a lot, but it helped me to realize what I did not have to do... and kept doing it. Las chicas de la calle, la Casa de América, and others that are best not to remember.»
