She began swimming at age seven in Havana, Cuba. She took part in age-group swimming competitions before trying triathlon. She switched to modern pentathlon in 2007. (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016; trabajadores.cu, 17 Nov 2014; juventudrebelde.cu, 04 Sep 2010; cuba.cu, 24 Oct 2019)

She competed in swimming at student level in Cuba, but later left the sport after not receiving the call to the national team. She opted to try triathlon, but did not like the cycling aspect, so she decided to try modern pentathlon for the challenge. "I never liked the bicycle, I didn't know how to turn. I opted for pentathlon because I was already a swimmer and was doing fine in shooting. I had only to improve my running, fencing and a little bit of horse riding. In my first competition I won the National Student Games and was called to the national team." (Athlete, 23 Jul 2016; cuba.cu, 24 Oct 2019)

She trains three sessions per day. She does running and swimming every day, while she practises fencing up to three times per week, and riding up to two days a week. (cubasi.cu, 27 Jul 2020)
