I am a sociolinguist with expertise in gender and multilingualism. My academic and professional journey across Spain, the UK, Austria, and Finland has shaped my interest in how language intersects with identity, inclusion, and social change. I hold a joint PhD from Tampere University and Universidad de Alcalá, where I examined the processing and perception of sexist and inclusive language in a second language using eye-tracking and survey methods.

I have taught a variety of courses in Spanish language and linguistics and co-designed an interdisciplinary course on gender in languages. My research and teaching are guided by inclusive, research-based pedagogy that values diversity and multilingualism. I have also contributed to international projects promoting linguistic accessibility, social inclusion, and intercultural understanding.

My research explores how language reflects and shapes identity, inclusion, and belonging in multilingual contexts. I investigate language attitudes, language ideologies, and linguistic change, with a particular interest in how speakers perceive and use inclusive language.

My doctoral research examined how speakers process and evaluate sexist and inclusive language, combining sociolinguistic and cognitive approaches such as eye-tracking and survey methods.

More recently, my work has expanded towards heritage language studies, multilingualism, and linguistic accessibility. I am currently developing a project on Spanish as a heritage language in Finland, focusing on language maintenance, intergenerational transmission, identity, and community engagement among Spanish-speaking families.

I am also interested in multilingual access to public information and services. My current work examines the multilingual accessibility of online information provided by maternity and child health clinics. In addition, I continue to explore multilingual education and decolonial perspectives on language and knowledge production.
