I have a degree in Mathematics (2005) from the University of Alicante, a Master’s Degree in Mathematics Teaching (2011) from the University of Granada and a PhD in Specific Teaching Methods (specialising in Mathematics Teaching, year 2017) from the University of Valencia.

I worked as a mathematics teacher in Secondary Education in 2008 and 2009 and joined the University of Alicante Faculty of Education in 2013 as an associate lecturer. I have been a PhD assistant lecturer at the Faculty since 2019. I teach on the undergraduate degrees in Child and Primary Education and the Master’s Degree in Secondary Teaching.

My current line of research is mainly concerned with the training of aspiring teachers and the development of their ability to analyse the mathematical thinking of students from a professional perspective. In this sense, I have carried out work on the use of proportional reasoning by future teachers in tasks related to ratios and proportions and in their metacognitive processes. Moreover, focusing on different educational levels, I have addressed issues in connection with the role of affective reactions, particularly mathematical anxiety, in mathematics teaching-learning processes and their relationship with teacher training.

I have collaborated on a number of regional, national and international projects, and some of my research results have been presented at national and international conferences and published in book chapters and scientific journals.
