Originally trained as a medical doctor,[1] she served as a deputy in the Grand Council of Vaud from 1990 to 1999 and was president of the Vaud Cantonal branch of the Swiss Party of Labour from 1988 to 1995.

From 1996 to 2006 she served as a municipal councilor in the city of Renens, before becoming Syndic (mayor) of the city from 2006 to 2016.

In2003 she was elected to the National Council and reelected in 2007. 11 days after the 2007 election, on 1 November 2007, Huguenin announced her resignation from the National Council in favour of Josef Zisyadis to focus on her position as mayor of Renens.[2]
