The School of Music of Guadalajara University and the School of Sacred Music of Toluca in Mexico continued her music education. In Guadalajara as well as Mexico City, she was a member of many chamber and opera choirs. After moving in the United States, she performed as a member of the Fort Lauderdale Symphony Chorus. After 2002 she relocated to southern California. She has performed solo Latin American music for private functions and as a member Ensemble XXI in Redlands. Passion and enthusiasm in music, art and performing keeps her involved in many local projects as a performer and teacher.
