Fitxa persona

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Personality, Assessment, and Psychological Treatments at the University of Valencia and a member of the I-PSI-TEC research group (www.ipsitec.com // @ipsitec). I am also part of the CIBEROBN research network at the Carlos III Health Institute.

I graduated with Distinction in Psychology (2014) and subsequently completed my training with several postgraduate degrees at the University of Valencia: a Master's Degree in Drug Dependence: Research, Treatment and Drug Pathologies —also recognized with Distinction—a Master's Degree in General Health Psychology, and a University Expert Degree in Therapeutic Skills from an Integrative Model in Psychotherapy. I also completed a postgraduate degree in Sexual and Couple Therapy at the Instituto Superior de Estudios Psicológicos.

In 2017, I was awarded an FPU (Ministry of Education, 2017-2022) scholarship to develop my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professors Rosa M. Baños and Marta Rodríguez-Arias, including two international stays at Monash University (Australia). In 2022, I defended my thesis with a grade of Excellent Cum Laude, International Mention, and Extraordinary Doctoral Award. Subsequently, I was awarded a Margarita Salas postdoctoral fellowship (2022-2024), which included a stay in Portugal, and in 2022, I obtained ANECA accreditation as an Associate Professor.

My research focuses mainly on the relationship between eating disorders and alcohol consumption, as well as on topics related to addiction, healthy lifestyles, unwanted loneliness, virtual reality, and and positive body image.

I am currently co-supervising a doctoral thesis on social media addiction and collaborating on several national and international projects.

In the teaching field, I have accumulated more than 500 hours of experience and have collaborated on seven educational innovation projects, aspects that have allowed me to deepen my vocation for university education and the continuous improvement of teaching quality.
