I was born in Valladolid, into a working-class family. I’m the youngest of five siblings and the daughter of parents who gave everything for us. My greatest role model has always been my mother, who worked up to 16 hours a day.

At age 7, a golf course opened near my house. Thanks to my mother and an uncle who bought me my first clubs, I took my first swings. From then on, golf became my passion and also my refuge. I was fortunate enough to develop my skills early, and at just 8 years old, I won my first Spanish Championship.

At 13, the Spanish Federation awarded me a scholarship in Barcelona, and at 18, I became world number 1.

I learned a great lesson from that time: with discipline, passion, and opportunity, you can achieve incredible things.

That same summer, I traveled to the United States with my brother Agustín and my mother to play in the US Amateur and visit universities.

Everything was going great… until we received the worst news of our lives: my father had died in a car accident.

My mother taught us that even in the darkest moments, you have to fight for what you want. And that, with determination, dreams can come true even if they seem impossible.

I’m going to tell you a secret…

Although I’m very proud of my titles, what makes me happiest is seeing my mother’s and family’s faces when they talk about my achievements. That is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me.
