Academic and Professional Background:

I am a multidisciplinary professional and fourth-year PhD researcher in Environmental Science, with extensive experience in management, EU-funded projects, technology transfer, and environmental research. I have contributed to POC, POCU and POSDRU projects in project reporting, multidisciplinary coordination, business information and monitoring, entrepreneurship training, and target-group recruitment. My PhD research focuses on nature-based solutions for capturing and retaining microplastics in the Tancat de la Pipa and Monasterios-Puçol wetlands in Valencia, Spain, supported by research stays at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and University of Cantabria. I hold degrees in Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Protection, Finance and Banking.
