Architect, researcher and teacher at Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia. Currently teaches Architecture Design Studio and History Theory courses both for early undergraduate and thesis students.  Her research projects are related to preservation, heritage (patrimony) and decay.

The main focus of the current discussion of her research is placed on the question of value of inmaterial heritage, material heritage and the politics of selection at an architectural and urban scale after 1930. The representation and the socio-political implications of this modern post-industrial heritage's destruction have pushed her several projects to find active ways in different media. She has explored in multidisciplinary teams with artists, performers, anthropologists, cinematographers and historians for the exploration of the boundaries of valuation of spaces and narratives associated to them.

She works independently in her own practice >Invisible Architecture< developing housing projects in Chile and abroad. Conducts a radio show on cities and architecture where different agents of the urban development are called for interviews. Organized a simposium on "Architecture: Against Time" and produced a short film on a colaborative basis with 85 members of the film industry surrounding the topic of non recognized heritage "Jacal: Against Time".

She has been Teacher associate  for Design Studios at Columbia University and has taught with Markus Dochantschi, Shohei Shigematsu, Sarah Carpenter, Alejandro de Castro and Toshihiro Oki.
