As an only child, she grew up in a supportive family environment where her parents encouraged her interests without pressure.

Her portrayal of Ofelia brought critical praise, multiple awards, and international recognition. Following that success, she appeared in films like The Anarchist’s Wife, The New Daughter alongside Kevin Costner, and Another Me.
In 2015, she took on the role of Eretria in the fantasy series The Shannara Chronicles, expanding her reach to American television audiences.
Subsequent projects include Alta Mar (High Seas) on Netflix, Sister of Mine, and more recent works such as A Widow’s Game (2025) and Spartacus: House of Ashur.
