She was also a member of the Federation of Andorran Disability Associations (FAAD). As a columnist, her work has appeared in the periodicals Foc i lloc of the Diari d'Andorra.[1]

Fenoll went on to discuss "Andorra's commitment to the inclusion of vulnerable people, especially people with disabilities, and defended the experience of the Network of Inclusive Companies."[3]
