In the 2016–17 season (Betis’s first in the top division), she was named captain at age 19 and was the only player to play in all 30 league matches.

In 2020, she moved to Levante, reuniting with coach María Pry. At Levante, she made 46 league appearances and scored 4 goals. She also featured in UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifying rounds (e.g. against Celtic).

She scored her first international goal on 17 May 2019 in a 4–0 friendly victory over Cameroon. Over her international career, she earned 26 caps and scored 5 goals as of 2023.
