The group achieved widespread success in Mexico and Latin America, earning multiple gold and platinum records with hit songs such as "Te Quiero Tanto" and "Vuela Más Alto".

She later returned to television in various productions and participated in theater.
OV7 reunited in 2010 with the album Primera Fila under Sony Music, revitalizing the group's success. The group remained active until announcing their final separation in 2023.
In addition to her entertainment career, she runs a YouTube channel where she shares content on motherhood, healthy living, interviews with celebrities and entrepreneurship advice. She has also worked as a judge on the dance competition segment "Las Estrellas bailan en Hoy" on the program Hoy.
