She has enjoyed a Collaboration Scholarship from the Department of Didactics and School Organization of the Faculty of Philosophy and Education Sciences of the University of Valencia.

The Doctoral Thesis project that is being developed is related to the voices of Latin American migrant women as political subjects and with their own agencies and who are currently residing in Spanish territory. It highlights the processes of construction of identities, the value of their own sociopolitical representations, the alliances located in the territory, the cross-border relationships that women interweave, as well as issues such as racialization and foreignization towards them and their children, from a feminist, critical and decolonial perspective, and to follow advancing in the feminist subversion of historical, political, ontological and epistemological colonialities.

She has collaborated in research projects that promote the real participation and political representation of migrant women in the Comunitat Valenciana. As an activist, she has worked in direct relation with communities of migrants, especially women and minors in pedagogical scenarios of relearning, reflections and actions of feminist, critical, decolonial and in defense of the Earth.
