A member of Republican Proposal, Morales Gorleri was first elected in 2019 and sits in the Juntos por el Cambio parliamentary inter-bloc.
Morales Gorleri previously served as a member of the Buenos Aires City Legislature from 2007 to 2015, and as Undersecretary of Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development in the Ministry of Social Development from 2015 to 2019, in the administration of minister Carolina Stanley.

From 1997 to 2007, Morales Gorleri coordinated youth social programmes at the Episcopal Vicarate for Education of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Buenos Aires. She co-founded the Escuela de Vecinos, which, according to Morales Gorleri, was the origin of Scholas Occurrentes, a worldwide network of schools under the patronage of the Roman Catholic Church. It was during her time working in the Archdiocese that she met Jorge Mario Bergoglio, future Pope Francis.[2]
