Born in 1912, she first appeared as a bit player in Sampaguita Pictures' Pasang Krus (Shouldered Cross), then progressed to various pre-war musical films at Sampaguita, including Magbalik ka, Hirang (Comeback, Darling), Gunita (Memory) with Corazon Noble, Carmen with Carmen Rosales, Balatkayo with Rudy Concepcion and Pagsuyo (Love).

After World War II, in 1947, she made a comeback in the LVN Pictures films Backpay with Corazon Noble and Rogelio dela Rosa and Krus na Bituin (Crossed Star).

In 1954, she returned to Sampaguita and made dozens of movies, including Pilya where she played the mother of Gloria Romero.

In 1956, she moved to Larry Santiago Production for Mrs Jose Romulo with Jose Romulo himself.
