She has worked as a pre-doctoral researcher at the Institución Milà i Fontanals of Barcelona, belonging to the Spanish National Research Council (2012-2016). As a postdoctoral researcher, I have been a contract researcher at the Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) between 2018 and 2019. Between 2019 and 2022 I have been a Juan de la Cierva Formación researcher, first, and an Apostd de la Generalitat Valenciana researcher, later, in the Department of Medieval History at the University of Valencia. I currently enjoy a Juan de la Cierva Incorporacion position at the Department of Medieval Studies of the IMF-CSIC.

Her lines of research are focused on the study of the ecclesiastical contribution to the demands of the monarchy in the Crown of Aragon and in the papacy, within the framework of the configuration of the royal and papal treasury during the late Middle Ages. For the purpose of implementing this research, she has been working many hours in both the Archives of the Crown of Aragon and the Vatican Secret Archives. Furthermore, she has experienced several funded stays abroad (2012, 2014, 2015 and 2017). As a result, she has obtained other grants and complementary research fellowships, she has published a monograph, several book chapters and journal articles and she has participated in numerous national and international seminars and congresses.
