She made her feature film debut in the historical drama The 47 (2024) portraying the daughter of the characters played by Eduard Fernández and Clara Segura.[5] Her performance in the former film as a Catalan girl not much appreciative of life deprivations earned her nominations for the Goya Award for Best New Actress and for the CEC Award for Best New Actress.[7][8] She then starred in the fantasy romantic drama The Goldsmith's Secret (2025), portraying the young version of Celia (portrayed by Michelle Jenner as an adult), and featured in the period dramedy series The Lady's Companion as the middle sister of the Mencía family who wants to join university and study medicine.[9][10]
