Graduated in Marine Sciences from the University of Alicante (2021) and holding a Master’s degree in Environmental Contamination, Toxicology, and Health from the University of Valencia (2023). Her undergraduate research focused on environmental impacts on the water mass of “l’Albufera de València”, titled: “Environmental Impacts Review in l’Albufera De Valencia Derived from Intensive Agriculture and Urban Development”.
Later, she ventured into the professional field as a scientific sampler, exploring water quality and shifting from saltwater to freshwater as her subject of study. This experience propelled her to delve deeper into the field of pollution, leading her to pursue master’s studies.
Her master’s thesis, titled “Molecular Approach to the Identification and Quantification of Microorganism Biodiversity Associated with Autotrophic Carbon Fixation in Mediterranean Wetlands”, was conducted at the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (ICBIBE), in the Limnology group.
