She holds a degree in Environmental Sciences and a master's degree in Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability, specialising in Urban Ecology, and a PhD in Environmental Science and Technology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) for her thesis: Integrating the food, energy and water nexus on urban rooftops. She is also a lecturer in different undergraduate and master's degree subjects, as well as directing different master's degree projects.

She is currently a researcher at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB), where she works in areas such as urban metabolism, resource recovery, environmental and social assessment, and the circular economy in cities. Within her research, the circular economy plays a major role in proposing solutions for transforming cities into more sustainable, resilient and healthy places. In this context, sustainability practices are essential to reduce resource consumption and its associated impacts.
