Graduate in Agricultural Sciences and Bioeconomy from the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), specialising in plant production. In her final year of undergraduate studies, she participated in an academic exchange programme. She then completed the Master’s in Agro-environmental Technology for Sustainable Agriculture at UPM, while simultaneously working as a research trainee in the “Metropolitan Forest” project, associated with the City of Madrid. Her Master’s Thesis focused on a vegetation proposal for the El Cañaveral district (Madrid), based on the region’s climatic and soil characteristics.

She continued her career as a research trainee in the ANDROMEDA project and is currently pursuing her PhD in the agrivoltaics project. In this new role, she aims to specialise in studying the impact of water stress on tomato cultivation, employing three different treatments: control, controlled deficit irrigation (CDI), and agrivoltaic systems.
