She received her law degree with honors from the Escuela Libre de Derecho in Mexico City, and holds an LLM from the University of Chicago Law School.

She worked as a foreign associate at an internationally renowned law firm based in New York and at the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in San José, Costa Rica.

As January 2023, the firm’s capital markets and banking and finance teams are comprised of seven partners and more than 20 attorneys, bringing the firm’s total partner count to 37, with more than 149 legal professionals on the team at the Mexico City-based firm.
