As a Doctor in Humanities, she teaches in the Department of Education and Artistic Mediation. During her doctoral studies, she taught philosophy of education at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), where she developed her research on critical pedagogy and stage creation.

As a stage director and playwright, she created Manual de instrucciones para un espectáculo de títeres (Teatro Real, 2024). She has also worked as assistant director in the opera Tenorio (Teatro Real, 2024) and as artistic director of Pleasure Island (Real Filharmonía de Galicia, 2024; Palau de les Arts & Festival ENSEMS, 2022). She directed Projecte Grimm (Sala Beckett & Teatro de la Abadía, 2022), the co-creation and direction of the opera Hi ha monstres que viuen per a la seva curiositat within the #OHPERA 23/24 cycle (Gran Teatre del Liceu, 2023), and the performance Struwwelpeter: cuentos crueles al oído (Palau de les Arts & Teatros del Canal, 2021).

Her research and artistic practice focus on the relationship between theatre, contemporary music creation, and critical pedagogy, with particular interest in the unexpected forms of agency that emerge in collective processes and among non-professional audiences.
