Later, she participated in Spanish fiction as an episodic character. In 2011, she had a recurring role in the series Hispania, playing Navia.[5] Although her fame has come as a result of the series Vis a Vis and Élite, when she first became known on the national stage.[6][7]

In 2019, it was announced that she would play Verónica in the Movistar+ fiction El embarcadero, alongside Álvaro Morte y Verónica Sánchez.[8] She later participated in La valla and Madres.Amor y vida.[9] At the end of 2020, her leading role was announced for the Movistar+ series Todos mienten, where she plays Macarena, a teacher who is involved in a sex scandal when a video of her high-content together with a student comes to light.[10][11]
