In fifth grade, she began studying the piano, and was also in a vocal chorus group which allowed her to participate in different competitions, school olympics, and concerts in Europe, in countries such as Italy, Holland, Belgium and Austria.

After this, she transferred to Classical Canto to study Pop & Jazz, finishing her highschool with a diploma in Classical Canto.
