Spain
Global health professional with over ten years of clinical experience as a Registered Nurse across three countries, in emergency and critical care settings. My frontline work during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of surveillance, preparedness, and resilient health systems, motivating my transition into global and public health. I subsequently completed an MSc in Global Health and Infectious Diseases, developing strong competencies in infectious disease epidemiology, One Health, outbreak preparedness, health behaviour, and public health research. During my master’s programme, I led a collaborative survey to assess healthcare professionals’ awareness and knowledge of Strongyloidiasis, a neglected tropical disease affecting an estimated 600 million people worldwide. This research reflects my commitment to addressing health inequities related to climate change, migration movements, and limited access to healthcare, and is currently being prepared for publication. I combine strong clinical insight with research, analytical, and cross-cultural skills, enabling me to contribute effectively to programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance activities, and policy-relevant research. Currently, I am working as clinical trials study nurse. I am fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and I am learning Basque to enhance community engagement. I am actively seeking opportunities in global health, public health, epidemiology, humanitarian response, and health systems strengthening, where I can support evidence-based programmes and improve population health outcomes. Outside of work, I enjoy endurance sports and cooking.
Completed a one-week shadowing placement in the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Clinical Trials Unit at University Hospital Zurich from 18–22 May 2026. During this experience, I shadowed the Study Coordinators of the clinical trials team, gaining exposure to participant pathways, trial coordination, documentation processes, and multidisciplinary collaboration in a hospital-based research setting. This experience strengthened my understanding of clinical trial operations and further supported my transition from clinical nursing into research-focused and global health roles.
This residential school was held in the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the Wildlife Research Training Institute (WRTI), Kenya. From the 1st to the 6th of December of 2025, students and recent graduates from various masters courses from the University of Edinburgh, gathered for a unique summer camp week. during this week, the students had the opportunity to visit distinct research, agricultural and wildlife sites and face the real challenges that these communities are facing and what they are doing in order to minimise the potential consequences. As a week project, the students were asked to identify one problem and through discussion and brainstorming, find a solution, taking in consideration the different stakeholders and positions.
