After graduating in History from the University of Oviedo in 2013, I completed a Master's Degree in Prehistory and Archaeology at the University of Cantabria in 2014. In 2018, I was awarded a pre-doctoral FPI contract from the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, which enabled me to obtain a Doctorate with International Mention and Cum Laude Mention from the Joint Doctoral Programme in Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Cantabria and the Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2022, with the thesis ‘Dynamics of the settlement of the Iberian Peninsula in the Neolithic period: the case of the Iberian Peninsula’. obtaining a PhD with International Mention and Cum Laude Mention from the Joint Doctoral Programme in Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Cantabria and the Autonomous University of Barcelona with the thesis ‘Population dynamics, diet and funerary practices of the last hunter-gatherers and first peasant societies in the Cantabrian region’. Since 2024, I have been a Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Prehistory, Archaeology, Social Anthropology and Historiographical Sciences and Technologies at the University of Valladolid.

I am a researcher in the field of bioarchaeology applied to funerary contexts, using a multidisciplinary approach to human remains and applying methods such as physical anthropology, funerary taphonomy, stable isotope analysis, dental calculus analysis and ancient DNA.

My lines of research focus on subsistence strategies, settlement patterns, and symbolic behaviours of the last hunter-gatherer groups and the first agricultural communities in the north of the Iberian Peninsula.
