The daughter of speechwriter Fernando Ónega and Marisol Salcedo, she received a journalism degree from the Universidad CEU San Pablo in Madrid. She is the sister of fellow journalist Cristina Ónega.
She started her journalism career at CNN+ and joined Noticias Cuatro upon the launch of Cuatro in 2005. In 2008 she jumped ship to Informativos Telecinco, where she was parliamentary correspondent at the Congreso de los Diputados for ten years.
In 2004, she started a literary career with her short story Calle Habana, esquina Obispo, and followed it up with Donde Dios no estuvo, based on the 2004 train bombings. Her greatest success came in 2017 with the novel Después del amor, set in the Second Republic.
