She studied at St. George's English School, where she was a pupil of Ian Lennen, whom she later became close to, due to his implication in her acting career. From an early age, she showed an interest in sports, competing in swimming, skiing, ping pong, skating, but it was in tennis that she achieved notable victories. She became runner-up at the Euskadi Junior championship and reached the 110th position in the Spanish ranking.
At age 18 she retired from tennis competition to focus on her true passion, acting. On the summer of 2009 she attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, for a one month course, and was later offered a place in the contemporary theatre course. Back in Bilbao, she started studying Business Management at one of the top Business Universities in Spain; Universidad de Deusto (La Comercial), where she graduated with a B+.
