Life and career

She started her training when she was eight years old with artistic gymnastics. When she was fourteen, she started combining it with dance, both modern as funk, in the Carmen Senra and Academia Broadway dance schools. Rosario Ruiz and Nora Troyani taught her how to sing during some years. In addition, she has complemented her training with guitar classes in the last years.

She got her first role when she was thirteen and performed the role of Canelilla in En nombre de la Infanta Carlota, of Jara productions, a musical which was performed during some seasons in the Theatre of Madrid.[1] She also worked in the musical High School Musical and performed the lead role (Gabriella Montez) with Daniel Diges (Troy Bolton).[2]

Since then, she has taken part in several television series such as Central Hospital (Spanish: Hospital Central), Punta Escarlata, and the Antena 3 series The Boarding School (Spanish: El Internado). But the role which made her known was the one of Chelo, the daughter of the doormen in Amar en tiempos revueltos between 2010 and 2012.[3] In 2013, she played Vera on Luna, el misterio de Calenda, a series of Antena 3.[4]

In cinema, she has performed the leading role in Blancanieves, directed by Pablo Berger and released in 2013.[5] This work has brought her very important awards, such as the Concha de Plata a la mejor actriz in the San Sebastián International Film Festival and her first Goya Award for Best New Actress.
