Biography
editMagdalena Merbilháa was born in the capital city, Santiago de Chile, on May 21, 1973. Magdalena is the daughter of Arnaldo Merbilháa Coustere, an Argentine of Basque-French descent, and the jurist, Alicia Romo Román.[13] She completed all her schooling at the Santa Úrsula School in Vitacura, an institution that recognized her among its outstanding students.[14]
Magdalena began her academic career at the Gabriela Mistral University (UGM), and then completed a master's degree at Kingston University in London. Later, in 2001, Magdalena became a shareholder in her alma mater, which, at that time, was financially controlled by her mother, Alicia.[15] During that decade, she created her foundation 'Red Cultural', which she established once her family left the UGM.[15]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically on June 14, 2020, Canal 13 began to broadcast her program Viaje por el tiempo.[16]
In 2022, Merbilháa began to appear frequently on Sin filtros,[17][18] which she became famous for her opposition to the left-leaning constitutional project presented by the Constitutional Convention.[19]
