In 2025, after Patricia Pérez and Ana Arnau retired, she made it into the starting 5. In April, her, Inés Bergua, Marina Cortelles, Andrea Fernández, Lucía Muñoz, and Salma Solaun made their debut at the World Cup in Sofia, winning gold in the All-Around and with 3 balls & 2 hoops.[11] A week later they performed exhibitions of their routines in Ourense.[12] In May, they took part in the World Cup in Portimão. Selected for the European Championships in Tallinn, she helped the group win gold in the All-Around for the first time in 33 years, winning gold in the two event finals too.[13][14][15] In July, group won gold medals in all-around and both apparatus finals at the World Challenge Cup in Cluj-Napoca.[16][17] In August, the group competed at the 2025 World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, winning bronze medals in group all-around and 5 ribbons.
