After this work and her participation in the telenovela Mujer de madera (2004), she stopped acting and became a production assistant at Endemol in order to study acting in the United States, but after being accepted into the academy and receiving an invitation to a professional course for foreigners, she had the opportunity to participate in Nacho Cano's Hoy No me Puedo Levantar in 2006, so she decided to stay in Mexico to play the role of Patricia Luli. In the following years she expanded her experience in theater with her participation in the plays Chicas Católicas (2007), Avenue Q (2008), Show Roxana Castellanos, 7 Mujeres (2011), Ni princesas Ni esclavas (2011) and Divorciadas (2011).

During the same year she presented it in Mexico, and performed it again in 2017 at the Foro Shakespeare. In mid 2019 she got married in Zacatlán de las Manzanas, Puebla, to Lucía Cano, where Jannette Chao composed a song for the ceremony.
