One of her classmates was the now famous American actress and entrepreneur, Jessica Alba.

After attaining 18 years of age in 1998, she started posing for calendars, videos and catalogues, specialising in lingerie, swimsuit and body modelling. Simultaneously, she also taught aerobics while attending a message therapy school.

In 1998, she became the winner of the Miss Ujena competition in Mexico.

She worked in parties and events at Playboy Mansion located in Holmby Hill, Los Angeles, California, renowned for the lavish parties thrown by its owner and founder of ‘Playboy’ magazine, Hugh Hefner.
