Treballe com a Mànager de Projectes de Matemàtiques, Ciències i Tecnologia a European Schoolnet (EUN) des de maig del 2008. Abans de comencar a treballar per EUN he treballat durant 5 anys al camp de l’eLearning com a tutora, dissenyadora de continguts, mànager informàtic, administradora i directora de projectes, per diversos projectes. Sóc doctorat en Astrofisica pel Trinity College de Dublín, que vaig fer al Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Parle Català, Espanyol i Anglés, i tinc coneixements de Francés i Alemany conversacional.

Quan EUN em deixa alenar, treballe com a Webmaster de diveres pàgines web com La Curie o L’Institut d’Estudis Comarcals del Baix Vinalopó.
