Through her mother, she is granddaughter of Lolo Rico and great-great-granddaughter of Santiago Alba Bonifaz. Raised in the Basque Autonomous Community, she earned a licentiate degree in Psychology from the University of the Basque Country, later obtaining a Master in Psychology of the Education at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM).

She led the Podemos-Ahal Dugu congressional electoral list in Gipuzkoa for the December 2015 general election, and became a member of the 11th term of the Lower House. She became the Secretary-General of Podemos Euskadi in March 2016, replacing Roberto Uriarte. She repeated the leading place in the party list in Gipuzkoa for the June 2016 general election, renovating her seat for the 12th Congress of Deputies.

Considered (in the context of the Vistalegre II party assembly) close to the project of Íñigo Errejón (defeated by Pablo Iglesias'), she called in August 2017 a snap primary election to determine the party leadership in the Basque Country, announcing she would not stand up for re-election.
