She graduated at the University of Asia and the Pacific, earning a Bachelor of Arts majoring in humanities.[2]

Political career

Zamora served as a city councilor of Taguig from 2013 to 2022, representing the second district.[3][4]

Zamora was elected as the representative for Taguig–Pateros's second district in 2022, succeeding Lani Cayetano. As a neophyte at the 19th Congress, she is a part of the "Young Guns" bloc in the Congress, notable for their close relationship with Speaker Martin Romualdez.[3][4] She left the Nacionalista Party for Lakas–CMD ahead of the 2025 elections. She ran for reelection in the same election but lost to councilor Jorge Daniel Bocobo, who was a sectoral representative as Taguig's Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) President.
