In 2004 she decides she wants to be completely dedicated to her vocation, Photography. She signs up at the Institut dâ??Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (IEFC) in Barcelona where she studies photography for 3 years. In 2007-2008 she specializes in Fashion and Publicity at the same school with the photographer Fina Lunes.

When she ends her studies she starts her own photography studio to be able to develop her different projects.
