Degree in Psychology (2011) and PhD in Psychology (2016) from University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). During the doctoral studies I made two stays at Binghamton University (NY, USA), and I started teaching at the Psychology and Criminology degrees. After obtaining the PhD, I kept teaching at the department of Basic Psychological Processes as a substitute teacher, until I obtained a assistant professor position on January of 2017. Since then, I teach the subject “Learning” and “Memory and Decision Making” in the degree of Psychology, and an introduction to psychology in the degree of Criminology.

About research, I am a member of the research group Learning, Perception, Attention and Development (type A group of the Basque research system), participating mainly in the research lines on Pre-and postnatal learning with orosensory stimuli and on The effects of perinatal alcohol exposure on the acceptance of alcohol. I have 10 publications (JCR) and more than 30 contributions in international meetings. Also, on 2019, I obtained an extraordinary award for my dissertation. I am currently mentoring a doctoral thesis.
