She also graduated with a master's degree from the same university in 2002 with her thesis El arte de la memoria en la Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España (The art of the memory in the True History of the Conquest of New Spain).

On top of this, she's also a singer, and has other written works, including La Tierra Prometida.
