She began her athletic career aged 14 when she moved to Medellin in 2002 for training and competing in the Heptathlon.[1] Later, under guidance of Libardo Hoyos, her current coach, she began to run middle distance events including 800 m and 1500 m in which she set several national records and competed at continental and world level as a junior athlete. In 2013, she began to train for 3000 m steeplechase and the same year she placed first at the 2013 Bolivarian Games in Trujillo, Peru].[2] In 2017, she ran her first international 5000 m in the 2017 Mt.
