Before directing her first film, she co-directed the documentary shorts 224 and Rym, and worked in television, fiction and documentary, including as a writer on the programme Curiosidades de la Tierra (Curiosities of the Earth, Minoria Absoluta, DMAX, 2024) and as assistant director on the series Autodefensa (Self-Defence, Filmin, 2022).

Project
During her stay at Faberllull, she will write the script for the feature film El prec de les feres (The Prayer of the Beasts).
After the war, Mariàngels, a young widow from a well-off family, is sent to live in a farmhouse in the Montseny that was seized by the regime. When Cristina, the former owner, returns to what she believes is still her home, Mariàngels stands her ground and refuses to leave. Trapped in this strange coexistence and under the watchful eye of the new priest, who is obsessed with eradicating the people's ancestral beliefs, Mariàngels must choose between redemption and the wild call of freedom.
