Mariana took her first photography course at the Escuela de Artes of the Instituto Cultural Cabañas in Guadalajara, Mexico when she was 15 years old. Her passion for photography, editing, and the infinite narratives that can be created using this medium led her to venture into video in 2021 on the coast of Oaxaca working with socio-environmental projects. In February 2022 she began working as a photographer and videographer at the Careyes Foundation documenting artistic, social, and environmental programs.
Thanks to her studies in the social sciences and her fascination with the environment, her films tell stories mainly involving these topics.
