I graduated in Environmental Sciences from the University of León in 2013 and subsequently completed a Master's degree in Environmental Management of Water Systems at the University of Cantabria (2013–2015). I then worked as a research technician at the Jaca headquarters of the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology (IPE-CSIC) between 2015 and 2017. At the same centre, I completed my PhD through an FPU contract within the Land Use Planning and Environment programme at the University of Zaragoza (2017–2022). In 2023, I joined the University of Valladolid as a postdoctoral researcher and currently have a two-year Juan de la Cierva contract (2024–2025).

I study how climate influences tree growth and how, in turn, forests modify certain local hydroclimatic processes, analysing these interactions in different ecosystems and at various spatial and temporal scales. In the high Pyrenean mountains, I have investigated how snow cover affects the inter- and intra-annual radial growth of trees and how forest cover conditions the sensitivity of that cover to current climate change. In the oak pastures of central Iberia, I have examined the response of trees to precipitation patterns and used this relationship to reconstruct the region's hydroclimate over the last 400 years.

My approach combines dendroclimatic, hydrological and modelling studies with the aim of gaining an integrated understanding of forest-climate relationships.
