Margarita studied with Carmen Zapata, who was the director and founder of The Bilingual Foundation of the Arts, as well as the Meisner technique with David Alexander and Ken Lerner. She currently studies with Christine Kludjian. Margarita has guest-starred on several television shows and films, including NEVER HAVE I EVER, 9-1-1 LONE STAR, WHAT/IF, MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, and the THREE NINJA'S film franchise, to name a few.

What she is most proud of is her Mexican heritage and raising her son as a single mother.
