Her work includes improvised and composed music, film creation, and audiovisual performances, forming a constellation of interconnected practices.
Her solo album –'una ofrenda a la ausencia' (an offering to absence) with Relative Pitch Records– was described by the NYC Jazz Record as an 'innately human and personal album, surprising listeners with a passionate approach to jazz'.
She has performed with artists such as Marilyn Crispell, Michael Formanek, Angelica Sanchez, Lesley Mok, Kit Downes, Andrew Lisle, Chris Corsano, John Edwards, and Hamid Drake, among many others.
Co-funder together with Maria Grand and Marta Sanchez of the independent record label Lilaila.

He performs at notable venues including: Cafe oto, and Vortex (London); KM28 (Berlin), Bimhuis (Amsterdam), De Singer (Belgium), Galeria Zé Dos Bois (Lisbon); and festivals such as London Jazz Festival, Jazzfest Berlin, Freejazzfestival Saarbrucken, Jazz Jantar (Poland), to name a few.
