Sporting relatives:

Her twin sister Maria Belen Palacios has represented Ecuador in boxing, and won gold in the middleweight category at the 2019 Copa Romana in the Dominican Republic. (SportsDeskOnline, 15 Jun 2021; lahora.com.ec, 25 Nov 2019)

She took up the sport at age 14 in Piquiucho, Ecuador. (elcomercio.com, 07 Jun 2021; deporte.gob.ec, 01 Jan 2016)

She and her sister were invited to try the sport by coach Manuel Delgado. "It all began when my coach visited our school to invite us to watch the sport. I did not train at the beginning. I said, 'Why are we going to punch ourselves in the face like that?', but once I put on the gloves I convinced myself that boxing was my thing and here I am."
