When she was little she started practicing rhythmic gymnastics, but later, at the age of ten she started swimming in the Kallipolis Swimming Club. When she was 14 years old she was part of the Spanish National Synchronized Swimming Team.
She trained at the High Performance Center in Sant Cugat. At the age of 17 she began to win medals in synchronized swimming competitions worldwide. She has competed in a lot of competitions, but the more important ones are the World Championship 2009, where she received a gold medal and two silver medals and the London Olymic games, where she won a silver and a bronze medal. In 2018 she also won Masterchef, a television program. In September 2019, when she was 29 years old, she announced her retirement from the synchronized swimming, because she got pregnant and decided to dedicate time to her family. But she also said that the design and fashion are the center of her studies and perhaps, in the near future, also her profession.
