She was born in about 1982 and she is from Guayaquil. She became a local official of the government in Guayas.[1]
She was elected to represent Guayas Province as a candidate for the Democratic Left to the National Assembly in February 2021. In May 2021 she became a second vice-president of the Assembly. She was accused of taking bribes and on social media she blamed her staff for acting in her name without her knowledge.[1] Investigations revealled that she had not made a tax return between 2016 and 2019 and that no record could be found for her university qualifications. In August 2021 she was no longer a member of the Democratic Left party.[1]
She was brought to account to the Ethics Committee by Alejandro Jaramillo and Victoria Desintonio. Two payments featured against her. The first was a $3,000 payment to her son, which Jimenez said was a loan, by Pablo Luna Fuentes. The payment was made to let Pablo Luna Fuentes become a member of Jimenez's team. In the end Fuentes never took the job but that was not because Jimenez did not want him.[2] Scarlett Lindao did become a member of Jimenez's team and she said she had paid $2,500 and that was only part of the $6,000 full price that had been demanded for her to get the job.[2]
A vote took place at the National Assembly and there were 133 members present. 132 votes went against her and she was the only abstention.[2] She was banned from ever holding a public office and she replaced as a member of the National Assembly by Daniel Onofa Cárdenas who was her alternate.[2]
