Education:

Graduate in History from the Universitat de València (2021), specialised in Early Modern History, with a Master's Degree in History and Identities in the Western Mediterranean (15th-19th Centuries) [MHIMO] (2022) and qualified for secondary education teaching, with the Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teacher [MAES] (2024). I'm currently developing my doctoral thesis in the "Doctoral Programme in Geography and History of the Mediterranean from Prehistory to the Early Modern Age" (2022-present).

Research interests:

My main topic of study is the urban supply of the city of Valencia between ca. 1700 and 1825. The research began during the development of my Master's dissertation (MHIMO), in which I investigated "El Abasto de Nieve en Valencia a finales del Antiguo Régimen" (1704-1820). Currently, during my pre-doctoral research, among other issues, i'm focusing on the general mechanism of  the urban supply in Valencia in the same chronology, supplies such as wine or snow, the networks in which the suppliers participated or retail sales.
