Choreographer, dancer, designer and manager. From the city of Valparaíso she dedicates to performative scenic practices, improvisation and sound experimentation. She practices and teaches Improv Contact since 1998. Formally, she studied as a superior performer in dance in the Municipal Conservatory of Viña del Mar and Graphic Design in the PUCV.

She investigates by crossing fields of interest; contemporary dance, improv, and somatic techniques, design, architecture, sound space, word and image. She works from tools that arise from her creative investigations and improv as a corporal and a space of consciousness experience in the formation of dancers, actors, designers and architects, as a tool for creation.
