She is a Professor at the Universidad de Los Andes in Chile. She holds a PhD in Information and Telecommunication Technology in Trento - Italy.

She decided to start her professional career in Computer Engineering, since she was very interested in the software engineering tools that may have application in the industry. 

Her main research areas are: Business Process Management (BPM): Modeling and Process Simulation, Data Mining, Machine Learning and Business Analytics. She has been working in several applied research projects with ports in Chile and is the author of scientific articles in journals. For two years, she has participated in the organization of a women's event in Chile in order to attract students that learn about women leaders and gender issues in computing and technology. The synergy achieved among the participants generates actions and helps the different causes that work in isolation to join together to achieve greater goals to work for gender equality.
