Reason: In 2008 she got involved in sport as a way to combat depression after she went through a divorce and became overweight. "I was having a bad time, so I went to therapy and a psychologist advised me to find a distraction. I was shy about leaving home in my wheelchair and I weighed over 150 kilograms. I sought out Para sport, and seeing other Para athletes who were independent helped me so much. When I discovered Para sport I loved it." (la-prensa.com.mx, 15 Oct 2020)
Ambition: To compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris and at the 2026 World Championships. (elsoldetoluca.com.mx, 16 Dec 2023)
