Movistar Team Women [Spain] since 2019

Turned professional in 2019

She began cycling at age 13 in La Ceja, Colombia. (movistarteam.com, 10 May 2021; elespectador.com, 12 Dec 2020)

She tried a number of sports as a child before deciding to follow her older brother Julian into cycling. Later she began riding at the club of Hernando Gaviria, who is the father of Colombian cyclist Fernando Gaviria. "I have always practised sports, but I did not know which one should I become a specialist in. I really enjoyed cycling because it inspired me, relaxed me, I felt free. It gave me the option to meet new people, to travel, to go to places that I have never been." (elespectador.com, 12 Dec 2020; eltiempo.com, 25 Sep 2020)
