Life
In 2004, she studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Ambato. Seven years later she obtained her master's degree at the Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo in the management of Social projects and the following year she trained for a year at the Higher School of Chimborazo Polytechnic.

In 2020, she taught at the Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo.

She was elected to represent Chumborazo at the National Assembly in 2021. The sitting President of the assembly, Guadalupe Llori, was voted out at the end of May. Núñez said she voted against Guadalupe Llori because that was the recommendation.

In September 2022 she filed charges with the Legislative Administration Council against fellow Assembly member and president of the Oversight Commission Fernando Villavicencio. She said that he had called her a pig and "Ugly Betty" on social media. Villavicencio, was suspended from the Assembly for 31 days after consideration by the President of the Assembly and two others.

She takes part in the recovery effort following the landslides in the Alausí canton in March 2023.

The President of Ecuador Guillermo Lasso brought in the constitution clause number 148 known as Mutual death in May 2023 when he knew that he was about to be impeached. This required all of the National Assembly members to stand for re-election. Herrara and 67 others stood for re-election and she was one of the 43 re-elected later that year. The others included Pierina Correa, Paola Cabezas, Sofía Sánchez, Gissella Molina and Patricia Mendoza.
