Career

For a long time she played soccer, but in 2010, due to a health problem, she was immobilized from the waist down and started playing basketball in a wheelchair. Shortly thereafter, the national athletics coach invited her to train at the CONADE's Mexican Paralympic Committee Center.[3]

At the 2020 Summer Paralympics she finished in third place in the discus throw with a 24.11 meters, winning a bronze medal.[4]
