She graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) School of Cinematic Arts, where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production. That same year, she was recognized by The Hollywood Reporter as one of the most promising film graduates of her generation.

After graduating, she joined filmmaker Alejandro G.

She has also built a career as an independent producer. Among her credits is Vainilla [Vanilla], Mayra Hermosillo’s debut feature, which received support from the Promotion of Mexican Cinema [FOCINE, by its acronym in Spanish, Programa de fomento al cine mexicano], and was featured in industry platforms such as Impulso Morelia, Guadalajara Film Festival WIP Latino, Ventana Sur, and Films in Progress in Toulouse.

As a producer, her work includes participation in Marga en el DF, directed by Gabriela Ortega, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, while she continues to develop projects with the production company REDRUM and collaborations with Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
