She previously played for CD Sabadell, FC Barcelona, Levante UD, with whom she won one League and one Cup,[1] and Valencia. She was a key player in the league success, conceding nine goals in 25 matches.[2] She had previously won the 2003 Cup with CE Sabadell. During her four seasons with Espanyol (2009–2013) she added two further Cup winner's medals to her collection.
