Since then, she has developed personal film projects and worked professionally as a script supervisor and assistant director on various productions. Her short film "Estamos jugando a que sí" was selected for the International Showcase of Women in Film and TV in 2017. Later, Nadie finge el espasmo was part of the Dulcísimo Ovario festival in 2020, and her thesis film "Nadie, ni siquiera la bruma" was selected for the same festival in 2022. It was also a semifinalist at the 2023 Student World Impact Film Festival in the Best Experimental Short category. Her work draws from emotional states like depression, anxiety, and grief, focusing on atmosphere and sensory experience while pushing the boundaries of storytelling.
