I was born and raised in Chile, where I began exploring my love for music at a young age. With the support of my artistic family, I took piano and voice lessons at the age of 7 and knew right away that music was my calling. I spent my early years participating in any musical event I could find, but eventually discovered that my true passion lay in creating music rather than performing on stage.

Making the decision to pursue a career in music was not easy. I initially believed that only those with the courage and passion to perform in front of others could succeed in the music industry. However, after a year of studying journalism, I realized that I could not run away from my true passion for music. In 2012, I switched my studies to music composition and began my professional career as a composer at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Since then, music has been my life. I have written numerous scores for orchestras, trios, and solo piano, and my music has been performed in Chile and internationally in countries such as Mexico, Austria, and Germany.

In 2013, I joined "Resonancia Femenina," a group of female composers working to combat the exclusion of women from the music composition industry in Chile. I also participated in a FondArt (music fund) in 2014 that encouraged collaboration between composers and performers, resulting in the creation of pieces tailored to the abilities and sounds of the performers.

Aside from my formal studies in music, I have always been particularly interested in composing music for film and television. I have worked on a variety of projects related to the screen and theater industry and am deeply passionate about this aspect of music. Additionally, my interest in technology has led me to learn the software and skills necessary to produce and create my own music, both through formal training and self-study.

Teaching is another passion of mine. I have been teaching piano, primarily, since 2012 and have had the opportunity to attend conferences on education and take courses at the University. It is always fascinating to see the different ways in which people approach music, and I have learned so much from my students over the years. Sharing my knowledge and love of music is incredibly rewarding.

I choose to relocate to Berlin in 2019 in order to carry on learning, composing, producing music for screens, and traveling the world to teach. Right now, I'm achieving my goals, and I'm eager to see where this trip will take me. I'm actively teaching piano and composition both online and in person, working on a children's television program where I'm in charge of producing, mastering, and creating the music and sounds, transcribing handwritten new music scores by Yossi Gutmann to a digital format, and eagerly expecting arranging concerts and collaborations.
