Griselda became the number one Netflix show globally in 2024, marking a major milestone in her international career.

She also appeared in the feature film The Ritual Killer alongside Morgan Freeman and Cole Hauser, released in theaters in March 2023, where she portrayed Sergeant Melissa Downs. Her performance added emotional depth to the film's dark, psychological atmosphere.

In recent years, Aurora has starred in acclaimed television dramas such as La Reina del Sur (Season 2), winner of the 2020 International Emmy Award, and Verdad Oculta, directed by renowned Colombian filmmaker Jorge Alí Triana. Both projects reaffirmed her talent for complex, emotionally charged roles.

Aurora's film career began in Italy, where she made her feature debut as the lead in Faccio un salto a L'Avana, a successful comedy that became her breakout role. Her portrayal of Almadedios, a young Cuban woman full of charm and resilience, received outstanding reviews and established her as a rising star in Italian cinema. She also appeared in the box-office hit Immaturi Il Viaggio, further solidifying her international presence.

During her eleven years in Italy, Aurora collaborated with acclaimed directors including Pupi Avati, Paolo Genovese, and Carlo Vanzina, all multiple nominees for the David di Donatello Awards, Italy's most prestigious film honor.

After her success in Europe, Aurora joined the cast of La Selección 2, the Colombian hit series based on real-life soccer legends, portraying Viviana, the lover of star player Valenciano. The series, now streaming on Netflix Latin America, expanded her recognition across the continent.

Aurora holds an advanced degree in Psychology from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Colombia and is classically trained as both an actor and voice-over artist. She has studied in prestigious academies across Italy, Spain, Colombia, and the United States.
