After my studies in Environmental Sciences and Ecology, both multidisciplinary, coursed in universities UAM and UCM (Madrid, Spain), and periods of internship work as technic in urban green zones and assistant of damaged animals in a recovery centre, I started to work in atmospheric pollution in UCCA, of CIEMAT (Madrid, Spain) for 2 years. Later, I joined in Animal Breeding Deparment of INIA-CSIC by an European project called ISAGE, which was involved in the conservation of livestock facing climate change, while I was doing works to Spanish Association of Breeders of Select Avileña-Negra Iberica cattle AEANI (Avila, Spain), interprice where I was hired after finishing my contract, and subsequently I joined in INIA again by EG17-097 project (Encomienda de Gestión), in which I had worked with SNPs and microsatellites genotypes during 1 year and 7 months with bovine data, until I joined in CERSYRA (Valdepeñas, Spain), belonging to IRIAF. There, I have been working for more than 3 years with genotypes and phenotypes (milk production, fertility, etc.) related to homozygosity regions and their genes or QTLs in different projects (IMPAR, RUMIGEN) with the Avilleña-Negra Ibérica cattle breed and Manchega sheep dairy breed. At the same time, I'm doing a doctoral degree by UPV, knows as "Doctorado en Ciencia y Tecnología de la Producción Animal", since 2021. I am author of 4 scientific papers, 4 communications in congresses, and I have participated in 6 projects: TECNAIRE-CM, iSAGE H2020-SFS-2014-2015-679302, EG17-097, IMPAR SBPLY/17/18051/000369, RUMIGEN (101000226), OVIMPROVE.
