Technical Degree in Civil Technology Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (1997) and a Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Alicante (2008), where she received the Degree Special Award. During the time she was obtaining her first degree and pursuing her second one, she worked for several construction companies and consulting firms as a civil engineer for 10 years.

In 2008, she joined the University of Alicante and started working as a full-time lecturer and researcher. Her PhD thesis, which earned the PhD Special Award, was defended in 2011. Since 2018, she holds a permanent position as an Associate Professor at the University of Alicante in the field of Continuum Mechanics.

Her research began with the study of the consequences of a low-speed impact on a building column, as conventional sensors were unable to measure the high-frequency displacements that took place in the column. This work led her to start a new line of research in her group, focusing on the measurement of displacements and vibrations through image processing. Her current research is aimed at the detection and measurement of structural movements using images and sub-pixel methods.
