Her work reflects on the way we construct our identity in a contemporary world, from a clearly female perspective and playfully articulating different materials.

She specialized in Editing and Dramatic Structure with professor Miguel Pérez in Argentina, and in Essay-Film at Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV) in Cuba.
