"My family enrolled me in a swimming course when I was a child. From there, I moved to the High Performance Initiation and Formation Centre [CIFAR], where coach Celia Torrado discovered my talent for synchronised swimming and diving. I opted for synchronised swimming because I thought the movements were more aesthetic. This sport has been my passion ever since."

DUET PARTNER
She teamed up with Estefania Alvarez Piedrahita in 2012. "I am not as flexible as Estefania. We have a very nice rapport, she is very good with her arms and I am better than her with the legs. She is a very serious person and she is the one who helps me keep my feet on the ground, I am more passionate." (elheraldo.co 01 May 2016; Teleantioquia Deportes YouTube channel, 04 Jun 2015)

SWIMMING CLUB
In 2017 she and Estefania Alvarez Piedrahita, as well as their coach Paula Garcia, founded AquaSwim club in Medellin, Colombia. "It is different being a pupil than sharing knowledge, but it is a beautiful energy. The girls always receive you with a hug and they are very attentive to what I do."
