But her work not only stands out in films since in her native Peru she has also served as a judge for the International Film Festival PUCP.

But her work is not only limited to the big screen, but also to the theater where Estrada created RASCOS, her own theater company where she produced and worked in more than thirty plays with diverse Latin American actors, work for which she had won many awards and prizes.
Not satisfied with all the work done, Estrada was inspired to write, produce and direct her own short films as is the case of Do this happened to you?, which in addition to been invited to participate in renowned international film festivals such as the Oasis Short Film Festival, the South Africa Film Festival, the London World Wide Festival, and the Madrid International Film Festival, was awarded as the Best Short Film in a Foreign Language at the Nice International Film Festival in France.
