## Career

In August 2016, in doubles she reached the semifinal in Florianopolis, Brazil with partner Montserrat González. The pair lost to third-seeded Tímea Babos and Réka Luca Jani, in straight sets.
She reached the second round at the 2018 Monterrey Open, her best result thus far, defeating Usue Maitane Arconada in the first round, before losing to Sachia Vickery. She became the first Mexican player ever to win at Monterrey, having lost her previous six WTA Tour level main draw matches.
In 2023, she qualified into the main draw of her home tournament, the WTA 1000 Guadalajara Open, where she lost to Dayana Yastremska. She also received wildcards in singles and doubles for the next edition of the tournament, which was downgraded to a WTA 500 in 2024, but also lost in the first rounds.
