She began her career at the University of Girona (Spain), where she carried out her MSc under the supervision of Prof. Miquel Costas and Prof. Julio Lloret-Fillol (2013–2014), focusing on the development of molecular ruthenium complexes for water and C-H oxidation. Then she moved to ICIQ to do her PhD (2015-2019) in the group of Prof. Julio Lloret-Fillol working on the development of well-defined iron and ruthenium complexes for water oxidation and a cobalt/copper dual photocatalytic system for light-driven organic methodology (photoredox catalysis).

After obtaining her PhD that she joined the group of Prof. Erwin Reisner at the University of Cambridge (UK) as a BBSRC postdoctoral research associate and later on as a Marie Marie Skłodowska–Curie Individual Fellow. Her work focused on the development of biohybrid catalysts (interfacing materials with biologic counterparts) for sustainable fuel production at interfaces using, water and CO₂ as feedstock.

In 2022 she obtained a “Junior Leader Incoming Fellowship” from “La Caixa” and started her independent career at ICIQ and URV in Tarragona (Spain) as Junior Leader and Associate Professor.
