She has appeared in numerous soap operas, several plays and film "Cicatrices" for which she won a "Diosa de Plata" award as New Actress.
Salinas first obtained international recognition in the telenovela "Esmeralda" alongside Leticia Calderon, as the damsel in distress Graciela.
She was noticed in Esmeralda for her ability to portray the dramatic and often extremely love-obsessed character of Graciela who is in love with a poor foreman Adrian (Alejandro Ruiz) but has to suffer under the control of her aristocratic mother Fatima (Laura Zapata).
As a new twist in her career, veering away from her villainous and often mature roles, Salinas joined the telenovela for children, "Carita de Angel".
Her more recent important work is Fuego en la Sangre, where she portrayed the role of the conservative Sarita, who eventually discovers true love from a man who happens to be her family's mortal enemy.
