Research Associate
PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Salamanca. Her dissertation was conducted in the field of Human Geography, specifically within political, economic, and regional geography. Her territorial and multiscalar approach enables an analysis of how Arctic governance and European policies are shaped through complex power relations and diverse systems of social value. She was awarded the Extraordinary Doctorate Prize for theses defended during the 2024-25 academic year (University of Salamanca) and the Best Doctoral Thesis in Economic Geography award, granted by the Economic Geography Group of the Spanish Association of Geography.
During the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 academic years, she served as a Substitute Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Salamanca, where she is a member of the Territory, Innovation, and Development (TEIDE) research group. Since February 2026, she has been a Substitute Professor in the Department of Geography at the Complutense University of Madrid. Since 2021, she has balanced her academic work with a role in territorial development as a technician for the Duero-Douro European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation.
Her research lines focus on the study of European and national policies aimed at sparsely populated territories, as well as actions designed to reverse demographic decline. Her thematic interests include the energy and food transitions, with the Arctic and the Spanish-Portuguese border as her primary study regions. Alongside experts from Portugal, Brazil, and Italy, she has spearheaded the «Latin Polar Science» initiative—a collaborative platform dedicated to disseminating and sharing Arctic and Antarctic research findings from various centers, institutions, and universities.
