Es estudiante e investigadora en la Estación Marina de Plentzia (PiEUPV/EHU) en el ámbito de la biología, ecotoxicología, la ciencia ciudadana y la divulgación científica ambiental. Es ecofeminista y cree en el empoderamiento de la ciudadanía para crear una sociedad más feminista, ecológica, anticapitalista, antirracista, inclusiva y justa. Para ello, piensa que tanto la comunicación y la divulgación ambiental como la participación social son herramientas cruciales en las que hay que trabajar con consciencia y devoción.
