She remained in Washington for over a week, reporting on the aftermath of the attacks that shook New York City and the world. Prior to this, she had covered other important events for TVE, including the introduction of the Euro in Spain in 2002 and the Prestige disaster, and was a special envoy to Iraq in April 2003.
