As a child she spent a lot of time outdoors so she was inclined to do sports. After her accident, coach Pablo Pena saw her in a wheelchair in Bogota, Colombia, and asked her if she was interested in trying athletics. She did not accept because the practice field was too far from her house. However, a year later she met Pena for a second time, and he once again invited her to start training. "He convinced me. He gave me all the information and that was when my Para sport career began. Here I am and I am happy." (idrd.gov.co, 12 May 2018; laud.udistrital.edu.co, 29 May 2015; Prensa IDRD, 27 Sep 2014)
