DUET PARTNER
She teamed up with Monica Arango Estrada in 2012. "Monica and I complement each other, she is very good with her legs. That's why we have such a good rapport during training. She is also a dedicated student and athlete. Our personalities are different. She's a lot more outgoing than me and I think that helps our performance as well. I really appreciate her enthusiasm during the hard times." (elheraldo.co 01 May 2016; Teleantioquia Deportes YouTube Channel, 04 Jun 2015)
