An architect from Ricardo Palma University, she holds a master's degree in Advanced Architectural Design (Städelschule Frankfurt), studies in visual arts (Städelschule Frankfurt), and specializations in Biocultural Diversity and Technological Options in Convivial Cities (UNTELS) and Childhood, Education, and Pedagogy (FLACSO Argentina). She is currently pursuing a master's degree in Anthropology at PUCP. 

Her professional practice as an architect explores the multiple forms of existence and relationships that emerge between water, territories, and local knowledge, with an emphasis on mutual nurturing and learning. Her research, situated within anthropological debates on water and climate, is conducted in the indigenous peasant community of Quispillaccta (Ayacucho), renowned for its water planting and harvesting practices. In 2016, she co-founded DIADIA Arquitectura with Michele Albanelli and represents the Peruvian College of Architects in the UIA Work Program "Educational and Cultural Spaces" (2023-2026). 

Her consulting experience includes collaborations with PRONIED, Promovilidad, GIZ, Urban 95 Lima, and the Municipality of Lima on educational infrastructure, public infrastructure, participation, and diversity projects. She is currently a professor at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at PUCP and at the University of Lima. 

Her work has been exhibited in the exhibitions "Slow Wave III" (Vienna, 2022), "Chaupin Semilla Integradora" (Cusco, 2022), "Espacios Revelados Lima" (2021-2022), "Cartas al Alcalde Lima" (2018), "Best of Best of Best #4" (Mexico City, 2012), "Pasajes Emocionales" (Vienna, 2011), "The Educational Art Show Part. 2" (Oslo, 2011), "Soleil, prends garde à toi!" (Frankfurt, 2009), among others.
