By age eight, she was appearing in commercials and children's programs, quickly becoming a familiar face in Argentine media. Her mother was a significant presence in her life and career, often accompanying her to auditions and sets. Growing up in Buenos Aires, she was immersed in the entertainment industry from a very young age, with her natural talent for performance evident early on.

Her childhood was not typical; instead of school recess, she had rehearsals and studio time. Yet this early start gave her a remarkable comfort in front of the camera, a skill that would define her career. By her early teens, she transitioned from children's roles to prime-time telenovelas, setting the stage for her international breakthrough. [edit]

In 2026, she participated in Gran Hermano: Generación Dorada, the Argentine reality show, which dominated media coverage. Her time on the show was eventful: in February, journalist Guido Záffora revealed her contract details and fee; in March, she returned after an absence with a more positive attitude; in April, she suffered a serious fall requiring medical attention; and in May, it was reported she might return with her daughter Anna. After leaving, she was offered a "millionaire job," proving her enduring commercial appeal. [edit]
