International career
In February 2025, the Spanish-born talent received her first call-up to the Equatorial Guinea senior national team at just 17 years old. Discovered by scouts during vacation the previous year, she was selected to participate in a double-header against Tanzania in the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[6][7] On 20 February 2025, she made her debut as a starter in a 3–1 away defeat to the Twiga Stars, scoring her first goal and Equatorial Guinea's only goal of the match.[8]
