CREAF

I have a degree in Biology (University of Barcelona) and a PhD in Terrestrial Ecology (Autonomous University of Barcelona). The main goal of my research developed at CREAF was to understand the distribution and variability of plant functional traits and their role on forest function and Dynamics.

I am more passionate about understanding and improving the human functioning of the research world, rather than the scientific details of a particular research project. For this reason, I decided to move away from the academic career but not from science and since September 2020, I have joined CREAF as a Talent / Gender officer.

My main challenges in the coming years are, on the one hand, to ensure a good implementation and evaluation of CREAF's Gender Equality Plan, and on the other hand, to inspire researchers to reach their full potential providing training programmes matched to specific researcher career stages and promoting a healthy organizational culture.
