I hold a PhD in Environmental Science and Technology from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB), an MSc in Water and Coastal Management, and a BSc in Natural Resource Management. My research examines plantations, pesticides, and waterscapes through an interdisciplinary approach that brings together political ecology, critical agrarian studies, and tropical ecotoxicology.

My work has centered on agrarian transitions related to plantation economies and the chemicalization of agriculture and their impacts on socioecological systems and rural livelihoods. Since 2023, I have also worked as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in the Economic Geography Group at the University of Zurich. There, as part of the SNSF project “Making Herbicide Markets: Interactions between production restructuring, agriculture and environment in Latin America and Asia”, I examined the global production, trade, and use of pesticides, with particular attention to South–South dynamics between Latin America and Asia. From 2007 to 2015, I worked at an environmental law NGO in Costa Rica, where I contributed to water advocacy and management initiatives and addressed the impacts of pesticide contamination in rural communities.
