Biography

edit

She was born in Tacna on 17 February 1972. She studied architecture at the Private University of Tacna. She obtained a diploma in Project Management at the College of Engineers of Peru. She was a technician and assistant to the Congress of the Republic between 2016 and 2019[2] in the office of former congressman Jorge Castro Bravo, whom she denounced for forcing his workers to hand over part of their salaries.[3]

In the 2021 general elections, she ran for the Free Peru party, but did not win the seat. Months later, after the death of Congressman Fernando Herrera Mamani and in her capacity as an accessory, she was sworn in on 11 November 2021.[4][5]
