She taught at the Universidad de Lima. Currently she teaches at the PUCP. In 2012 she participated in the delegation of Peru for the Venice Architecture Biennale, which was about Inhabiting the Desert. Her projects have been published both nationally and internationally and has received various recognitions and awards. She won the contest for the design of the Coca Cola building in Peru and for the academic complex of the PUCP with her partners. In 2018 she was awarded at the National Biennial with the project “Sustainable and Productive Housing: Cañete” (reknown in the CAPECO Contest). She has been studying the physical conformation, its usage and social relationships in open community spaces in collective buildings. They affect the use of space, the sense of belonging and neighborhood links. Her work is based on "sustainable thinking" including environmental, cultural, and social conditions; also considers the memory of places to route its own logics. These inquire into the poetics of architecture through a dialogue among: intimate and collective, implicit and explicit, to reveal unexpected relationships.
