About Me: Freelance Science Journalist

I transform research into stories that matter. With a clear and precise approach, I communicate science, health and technology to bring them closer to all audiences.

Who I am and what I do

Writing has always been my vocation. I studied Journalism in Valencia and, after my beginnings as a sports journalist, I discovered in science an inexhaustible field of stories. I specialized in Science Communication with a Master’s degree in Scientific, Medical and Environmental Communication at Pompeu Fabra University and delved into the history of research with a Master’s degree in History of Science (UAB-UB).

I have worked in institutions such as the University of Barcelona, the Biomedical Research Park of Barcelona and the Ramon Llull University, collaborating with scientists and journalists to bring science closer to society.

Currently, as a freelance science journalist, I help universities, research centers and organizations to disseminate their work with a rigorous and accessible approach. Through scientific reports, press releases, social media and conferences, I turn complex information into clear and memorable messages.
