I was born in 1984 in Bogotá, Colombia into a family of entrepreneurs. When I was 18 years old, in 2002, I decided to move to Vienna, Austria to study. 

 

In 2012 I graduated with honors from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna with a Magister degree in composition for media and applied music. At the end of my studies, the Music University awarded me with the mdw recognition award 2012 for excellent performance during my studies. 

 

In the same year, I had the idea to found the first symphony orchestra for film and video game music in the history of Austria: Max Steiner Orchestra. My idea and journey attracted a lot of media attention and several articles in the press and in different magazines were written about me.

 

I was then invited in 2013 to the Cannes Film Festival to present the Max Steiner Orchestra. It was there where the first project was born that brought many more projects until today.

 

After finishing the University, I had the opportunity to work with world-renowned artists such as Hans Zimmer, Anna Netrebko, Denny Elfman, Alexandre Desplat, Andrew Lloyd Webber, David Newman and James Horner among others.

​

Because of my achievements, the president of Colombia commemorated me as one of the 100 most successful Colombians abroad and I was invited to the presidential palace to receive a plaque of honor.

 

In 2018 I completed my master's degree in business administration with a specialization in project management, Professional MBA at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, Executive Academy.

 

In 2022 I obtained my certificate as an academic expert in the field of spirituality in the psychosocial professions from the Sigmund Freud University Vienna, a subject that has been of great interest to me since childhood.

 

As of 2022, I am a board member of the female leaders network of the Vienna University of Economics and Business, Executive Academy, where we support women in their personal and professional development.

 

In 2023 I founded the Self Love Artist Studio, a creative space where people come together to practice the art of self love, a topic that has a profound impact on all areas of our lives. Since 2023, I am faculty lecturer at the MUK Music and Arts University of the city of Vienna teaching film and commercial music.
