Dominguez's career on television is divided into two stages: as a television presenter in Ecuador, from 1993 to 1999, and as an actress in Brazil, from 2000 onwards. At the age of 13, she began her career in Ecuador, when her father was transferred to the country for work. She was taking a dance class when she was called to audition for a children's and youth program on a local station. However, the audition for the program's group of dancers turned into a position as presenter. She hosted game shows, children's shows, intercollegiate shows, variety shows, live and recorded, daily and weekly, recorded some songs and toured the country. In total, she made six shows on three different channels (Ecuavisa, Teleamazonas and SiTv), was a UNICEF ambassador in Ecuador and the official representative of The Walt Disney Company in the country. The fact that she was Brazilian was credited with boosting her career in a country marked by the rivalry between its main regions (the coastal Guayaquil and the mountainous Quito). Being a foreigner, the she was free from any regional prejudice and was accepted nationwide.
