    She worked as an engineer and was a project manager at the Centro de Coñecemento da Costa da Morte (Knowledge Center of the Coast of Death). From the beginning of her career, she combined her role as an engineer with that of a writer, as well as that of a scriptwriter for different TVG programs. Theater adaptations were made of some of her works.

She held the position of "expert" in letters in the TVG contest Cifras e letra from September 2011, until 2013.[3] Figures and letters was replaced by the Verbas van contest, in which she also held the position of expert.
