She was married to a Spanish gunsmith, and oversaw the manufacture of ammunition. (Socolow, 161)
She was married to the Spaniard Francisco Cisneros who worked for Túpac Amaru. Fisher claims she collaborated in the rebellion. She does not specify her contribution, but claims that Micaela Bastidas protected her due to this help. On 25 March 1781 a priest reported to Bastidas that he had buried her. (Fisher, 1966, 192, 209)
