In 2002, before finishing her studies, she competed in the Miss Bogotá contest, which elects the city's representative to the National Beauty Pageant. She finished second, being named viceroy of the capital. Her participation opened doors for her to work on Colombian television.

In 2012, she received the TVyNovelas Award for Best Entertainment Presenter for her work on Nuestra semana, nuestra tele.
