Her research activity, which has always been linked to the implications of literature in education and society from a critical perspective, began when she was accepted as a PhD candidate at the English Studies Department at the University of Alicante, with Kevin Power as her mentor. Shortly afterwards, due to her interest in the study of literature from an intercultural point of view, especially Indigenous literature, she was awarded a scholarship to the PhD programme in the Department of Spanish at the University of California, Davis, where she also joined the Department of Native American Studies to write her dissertation with a Designated Emphasis in Native American Literature, under the supervision of Inés Hernández-Avila, Professor of Native American Studies. During her stay at Davis, she also participated as a Research Assistant in a project to recover and digitise Sephardic romances, that had been collected by Samuel G. Armistead and Joseph H. Silverman over decades among the Sephardic communities of Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Israel and the United States. It was Professor Armistead himself who recruited her for this project.

She has been a lecturer and researcher in the Audiovisual Communication Degree at the Centro de Estudios de Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante, where she carried out research work focused on audiovisual language from a critical point of view. She has also coordinated scenographic projects both for the Conservatorio Superior de Música "Oscar Esplá" in Alicante (where she has been Professor) and for other institutions, having been the main researcher in a project for the creation and staging of the children's opera 'Delmira y los fantasmas' (also as the the librettist), created entirely by students and teachers of the Conservatory.

At present, she's Assistant Professor at the Departmento de Innovación y Formación Didáctica, University of Alicante and her research interests are focused on teaching English, specifically through culture and literature (including picturebooks, graphic novels, young adult verse novels, screenplays, librettos, etc.)She has created and coordinated the teaching research projects "Dinamización del uso de la literatura en la enseñanza del inglés a través del lenguaje audiovisual" and "Fostering Compelling Reading for Functional and Critical Literacy in English Language Education / Fomento de la lectura fascinante para la alfabetización funcional y crítica en la enseñanza del inglés" in the Programa Redes, University of Alicante. She is also associated member of the The Nord Research Group for Children’s Literature in ELT, directed by Janice M. Bland.

Her research is closely related to her teaching, both at the Conservatory and at the Faculty of Education, where she teaches English Didactics in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as Didactics of English Language and Literature as a Foreign Language in the Master's Degree in Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching.
