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.
