According to her reports, Lucia Navarro had a keen interest in playing card games since childhood. She would often pester her family members to play all kinds of card games with her. As time passed, Navarro’s interest in card games became more focused on poker, and she began playing professionally in 2013.

In 2015, Navarro moved to London and began frequenting the Victoria Casino, where she kept winning.
Her success continued, and in 2019 she won the CNP Alicante Main Event and took home the grand prize of $35,000. Navarro is the first female player to win two CNP titles.
