Club career
Early career
Athenea started playing at Reocín in Cantabria at the age of 11, later moving to Ave Fénix Racing where she remained until the end of the 2018–19 Segunda División season, her time there encompassing a 2017 merger whereby the team became part of Racing Santander.
Deportivo
In August 2019, it was announced that Athenea would be joining the newly promoted Primera División club, Deportivo Abanca, without the permission of her old club who tried to retain her registration, while the Galicians maintained their offer of a professional contract took precedence. Finally, in September, Racing Féminas formally allowed her transfer.
On 8 September 2019, Athenea made her Primera División debut for Deportivo against RCD Espanyol and scored her first goal on 19 January 2020.
Real Madrid
On 26 July 2021, following Deportivo's relegation, it was announced that she would be joining Real Madrid.
International career
Athenea was called into the Spain U19 squad for the 2018 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship in Switzerland, where the team won the title; she was also part of the squad that finished runners-up in the same competition a year later. She made her senior international debut in October 2020, becoming the first serving Deportivo player to gain a full cap.
