Between 2013 and 2016, she continued to strengthen her career. She was appointed municipal civil judge in decongestion following the creation of new courts and her position on the list of eligible candidates. She was subsequently appointed to a permanent position in Bogotá, where she served between July 2014 and September 2016. That year, she was transferred to Bucaramanga, where she has served as a judge in the 20th Municipal Civil Court since September 1, 2016.
