The Spain international enjoyed a fantastic debut season in Premiership Women's Rugby with Harlequins this season.
The 20-year-old centre joined Quins from Barcelona at the start of the season and went on to score eight tries in 13 appearances.
Pena will be looking to carry on from that stellar season with Spain, who are ranked 13th in the world and face a tricky group with clashes against New Zealand, Ireland and Japan.
