Figueredo was born in the Altiplano but relocated to the Yungas as a young adult. Her family made careers as agricultural workers, with Figueredo also taking courses to become a midwife. She was active in trade unionism, holding positions on the local and provincial level within the region's agrarian and women's syndicates, particularly the Bartolina Sisa Confederation.

A member of the Movement for Socialism, Figueredo was appointed sub-prefect of Inquisivi Province and elected to the Chamber of Deputies from the party's electoral list in 2009. She joined a small caucus of legislators representing the Bartolina Sisa Confederation in parliament. At the end of her term, Figueredo did not seek reelection.
