Started her harpsichord studies with Eduardo Gilardoni (scholarship of the Mercedes Olivera Foundation, 1990-91), and has since then attended master-classes with renowned harpsichordists like Jacques Ogg, José Luis González Uriol, Mario Videla, Edmundo Hora and Alessandro Santoro among others, and with musicologists like Bruno Turner and Kelley Harness.
She studied with Edmundo Hora at the State University of Campinas and with professor Ilton Wjuniski and his assistant Maria Eugênia Sacco at the Magda Tagliaferro Foundation in São Paulo.
Former piano student of Raquel Boldorini, she took lessons with Eliane Richepin (Annecy, France, 1997), and attended master-classes with foreign pianists performing in Montevideo, between 1991 and 2000. At present, she studies Organ as a disciple of Cristina García Banegas at the University in Uruguay.
In 2003 she was invited by the prestigiuos “Académie Musicale de Villecroze” (France) to participate of the Atélier Pratique de Musicologie with other 7 harpsichordists from different countries. Back in Uruguay, with the support of the Alliance Française and the Mozarteum and the inspiration from this experience in France, she performed a series of didactic recitals in Montevideo and several other cities of the country - a historical enterprise which made it possible to take the harpsichord and its music to places where they had never before been heard.
With a scholarship of the Centro Cultural de Música of Uruguay, she attended prof. Ilton Wjuniski’s courses at the Claude Debussy Conservatory in Paris, taking part in the “Atélier Renaissance”, working on the interpretation of Renaissance repertoire on different keyboard instruments (harpsichord, spinet, virginal, clavichord).
In 2004 and 2005 she was honoured with a scholarship of the “Académie Musicale de Villecroze”, which allowed her to participate in atéliers and master-classes on the interpretation of Renaissance and Baroque music for keyboard instruments with European specialists such as Ilton Wjuniski, Huguette Dreyfuss, and Roberto Gini.

In partnership with Gabriel Schebor (luth, theorbo, baroque guitar, vihuela), she has performed in  Uruguay and Argentina, and their work as a duet has led them to the recent production of the CD “Pour ung plaisir”, containing instrumental versions of French chansons, Italian canzone, and Renaissance and Early Baroque dances.
