I obtained in 1995 the title of graduate in Psychology at the Universitat de València and in 2000 the title of Doctor in Psychology Psychology at the University of Valencia, (apt cum laude and P.E.).

In the year 2002, I obtained a position as Associate Professor.

My work as a researcher is part of the Research Unit of Work Psychology and Organizations (UIPOT) that has been integrated into the Research Institute in Psychology of Human Resources, Organizational Development and Quality of Work. Labor Life (IDOCAL), founded in 2008.

Throughout my academic career I have participated in various research projects, including the project Psychological contracts across employment situations (PSYCONES). Project funded by the Fifth Framework Program of the European Union. www.uv.es/~psycon In this project I specialize in the study of job insecurity, a topic that will leave many of the publications I have made.

I have also participated in different research projects funded by different official bodies. I am currently investigating in the project "New challenges in the study of work well-being in the scenario of exit from the crisis, international study of the quality of employment, personal, generational and socio-cultural factors".
 The results of these projects are specified in numerous presentations to scientific congresses, both national and international, in publications in journals and in different book chapters.

I obtained my PhD in Social Psychology from the University of Valencia in 2003. My doctoral thesis examined prejudice against the Roma population within the framework of Social Representations Theory, using an experimental social psychology methodology. Its main contribution was the theory of ontologization, which shows how the Roma minority is placed “outside the human map” when the majority group’s identity feels threatened by direct comparison with the animal. From 2009 to 2025, I worked as an Associate Lecturer in the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Valencia, where in 2025 I obtained a position as Assistant Professor (Ayudante Doctora). In 2022, I received accreditation as a Tenure-Track Lecturer (Profesora Contratada Doctora) from ANECA, and in 2023 I was awarded a research evaluation (sexenio).

Between 2020 and 2024, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Pattern Recognition and Human Language Research Center of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, and from 2024 to 2025 at Symanto, an Artificial Intelligence company. This experience represented a turning point in my career, allowing me to build an interdisciplinary bridge between social psychology and computational linguistics. Since then, I have developed a research line using Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to study what the different social actors say, and how they say it. My research interest focuses on the study of prejudice and symbolic constructions that undermine dialogue in intergroup conflict situations. I am concerned with advancing the understanding of the psychosocial processes that undermine coexistence in plural societies and sustain discrimination against the most vulnerable groups.
