In 2003 she was cast in "Machos" as Sonia, one of the lead characters. "Machos" was a great success, becoming the telenovela with the highest rating in Chilean television that year. In 2005, she portrayed Beatriz in "Brujas" as a sexy and overwhelming woman. In 2008, she played Maira Acevedo in "Don Amor", filmed in Puerto Rico and broadcast in both the island and in Chile.
