Her career also includes national and international dance work, performing in Los Angeles fashion shows alongside artists such as Reyli Barba and Ricardo Antonio, and representing Northern Mexico as a dancer with the National Jazz program.

Alma’s artistry is grounded in extensive professional training, including private vocal coaching, musical theatre performance, and advanced dance studies in ballet, jazz, contemporary, modern, and tap.
