Her development as a soloist singer began at the age of 15, under the tutelage of baritone Fernando Balboa and Charo Quicler Cruz, in her hometown, La Coruña. Some time later, and from 2020, she continued her vocal training with the countertenor and conductor Gérard Lesne, with whom she continues to receive stylistic and technical lessons.
From 2022, her training continues to be completed thanks to the contralto Sonia Prina, with whom she has been able to take part in masterclasses in Italy. Currently, she continues to improve her skills with her two teachers Sonia Prina and Gerard Lesne. During all these years, he also participated in different meetings and masterclasses where he received numerous lessons to bring new approaches to his musical training. Thanks to Filippo Mineccia, Flavio Ferri Benedetti, Luca Guglielmi, Marta Infante, Eduardo Lopez Banzo, Xavier Sabata, Emilio Sagi, Marta Knörr, Daniel Muñoz, Mercedes Hernandez, Jorge Enrique García Ortega, Fernando Reyes, Javier Artigas and Manuel Burgueras, she has been able to enrich her knowledge of singing, stage, interpretation, repertoire and, of course, vocal technique.
As a soloist singer, she has performed with various Early Music groups in Spain, including her recurring participation with the group Resonet. In 2021, she founded the group La Spagnoletta, which premiered with the cycle "Espazos Sonoros 2022", which is still active. In 2023, together with the specialist in historical keyboard Carlos Orejas Gomez, he created the duo "Dolci Partimenti", dedicated at the beginning only to Italian sacred music from 1650 to 1750, and nowadays the group continues but with a different cast depending on the programme.
