She also has a master's degree in neotropical archaeology from the [[Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral]].<ref name=gk/>
She pointed out that MuNa was serving the government more than the people and it did not have its own building in September 2023<ref name=gk/> and that ended her job at the museum.<ref name=ecuavisa>{{Cite web |last=Redacción |date=2023-11-23 |title=Romina Muñoz será la ministra de Cultura de Daniel Noboa |url=https://www.ecuavisa.com/noticias/politica/romina-munoz-ministra-cultura-daniel-noboa-XL6379880 |access-date=2024-05-19 |website=www.ecuavisa.com |language=es-EC}}</ref> She spoke out while opening another exhibition she had created for the artist [[Judith Gutiérrez]]. She also complained that the museum's staff were not permanent employees.

▲She became the Minister of Culture in Ecuador in 2023 when [[Daniel Noboa]] was elected
One of her first priorities was the [[Museo Antropologico y de Arte Contemporaneo]] (MAAC) in Guayaquil. She also found funds to send staff to learn techniques at other institutions: five people were being sent to France, one to a Spanish museum and another to a museum in Mexico. The previous administration's idea of creating a Teatro del Barrio was making slow progress and her project of finding a new building for the national museum was also being planned in 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-03-27 |title=Romina Muñoz: "Es un hito que se haya abierto el Museo de la Memoria" - Revista Mundo Diners |url=https://revistamundodiners.com/entrevistas/munoz-museo/ |access-date=2024-05-19 |website=revistamundodiners.com |language=es}}</ref>
