She did her higher studies in the career of técnico jurídica and worked at the Segundo Juzgado del Crimen de Puente Alto. She began on television in 2009 after taking part in the reality show 1810 on Canal 13, where she had several confrontations with Angélica Sepúlveda.

After her time on that program, she gradually moved into stand up, showing her hilarious routine to different audiences with great success. Her first credited role was in the 2012 suspense film Apio Verde, and later, in 2016, she appeared in the comedy film Argentino QL. In 2018 she took part in the madrugatón block of the Teletón, where she performed a humor routine about her body after bariatric surgery, her failed marriage and her time on the reality show. She performed with great success, achieving the rating peak of the second night of the LI Festival del Huaso de Olmué on January 17, 2020, with a routine in which she spoke about the country's current affairs with a series of amusing anecdotes.

On February 19, 2023, she performed at the 62nd edition of the Festival de Viña del Mar, the same night that the singers Karol G and Paloma Mami performed. Her humorous routine was very well received and focused on jokes about her family experiences, the pandemic and her experience of having morbid obesity during her youth. "El Monstruo" gave her the gaviota de plata and de oro. In 2017 she married Carlos Segura; a year later her then spouse asked for the separation, leaving her in charge of paying the marriage loan. In 2023 she won the Copihue de Oro in the Reina Pop category.
