The singer continued her education in the field of music with the School of Music of Guadalajara University and later at the School of Sacred Music, Toluca. She performed in Guadalajara, Mexico City and various cities while a college student as well as a professional. When she moved to The United States in 2000, she performed with the Fort Lauderdale Symphony Chorus before moving to her present residence in southern California.
