I first began my career by accomplishing a degree in Veterinary Science at Cardenal Herrera CEU University (Spain) in 2006. After that, I obtained a Master´s degree in Animal Science at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV) (Spain) in December 2007. Then, during 2008, I worked at the Meat Laboratory of the Department of Animal Science (UPV) as a Research Fellow where I carried out research on muscle biochemistry and meat quality. 

In 2009, I obtained a prestigious Fellowship from the National Programme FPU (Training Program for University Teachers) to perform a PhD Thesis at the Animal Breeding and Genetics Group of the UPV, which combined meat quality and quantitative genetics areas. During that period, I performed a research stay in the Scotlands Rural College (SRUC) (Edimburgh, UK) in 2012 within the Animal Breeding & Genomics Groups. I finished my PhD studies in 2013, obtaining Cum-laude and International Doctors mention qualifications. 

After this pre-doctoral period, I worked as a Post-doctoral Researcher at the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) in Girona (Spain) for one year (2014-2015) where I was involved in an FP7 European Collaborative Project about an automatic system for assessing carcass and meat quality. Next, I moved to Barcelona to work for a Technological Company (ATEKNEA SOLUTIONS CATALONIA, S.A.) (2015) as a Food Technologist, where I was involved on a project focused on non-invasive inspection technologies applied to agro-food industries. In September 2015, I obtained a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Fellowship to carry out a project at the  University of Padova (Italy) (UNIPD) focused on animal welfare assessment and alternative housing systems. This prestigious Programme helped me to strengthen my scientific expertise and acquire complementary skills such as project management, proposal writing, designing of research studies, networking and supervising. After this period, I continued with my post-doctoral experience in Italy (2018-2019) through three  Research Fellowships of the UNIPD, developing research activities in food quality (poultry, rabbit and fish), animal health and welfare, and aquaculture farming. In 2021, I started a new position at IRTA (Girona) as a Researcher with a Beatriu de Pinos post-doctoral contract. I carried out research focused on understanding the variation in food quality according to pre-and post-mortem factors with the application of non-invasive inspection technologies and assessing the consumer perception. This position has helped me to consolidate my expertise on food quality and its relationship with animal factors and to acquired leadership abilities.  Currently I am working as a PhD associate Professor at the Veterinary Faculty of the Cardenal Herrera CEU University. I am carrying out teaching and research activities within the area of Food Quality, Technology and Control.

My research work is framed within my participation as Principal Investigator of 2 research lines, 1 at UNIPD and 1 at IRTA, and 2 projects (1 innovation and 1 technology transfer) at IRTA. Also, with my participation in the research team of 2 international projects, 6 national projects (5 Spanish and 1 Italian), and 2 operational groups (innovation projects).  

As a contribution to formation and education, I am currently supervising 1 PhD thesis and I have supervised 4 MSc and 5 BSc thesis at IRTA, UNIPD and UPV, and mentored a MSc student within the ERASMUS+ Traineeship Programme. I have also worked as a lecturer at the Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU, UPV and UNIPD. In terms of my evaluation activities, I was part of a PhD Thesis Evaluation Committee at the Universidad Cardenal Herrera CEU. I have also been reviewer of several international scientific journals.

My research work has also a society contribution since it actively involve the partnership with stakeholders of the food production chain in the frame of collaborative projects and private  contracts. I also contribute as a lecturer at the \\\'International course of meat products technology\\\' organised by IRTA for stakeholders. Besides, I carry out communication activities for the public such as talks in the #100tifiques and the European Researchers Night Events, a school educational project and a radio interview. Finally, as other relevant information, I obtained the First Prize for the best poster-type scientific communication awarded by the Spanish Poultry Science Association and the Second Prize ASESCU-Laboratorios Pintaluba for young researchers.
