I am a General Health Psychologist and Neuropsychologist. I am a member of the VHIR Research Group on Infection and Immunity in Paediatric Patients, where I participate in the project "Tinc IDP. No estic sol". My work focuses on the psychological and psychosocial assessment and support of children and adolescents with immunodeficiencies and their families, with a particular interest in the impact of chronic illness on emotional well-being, neurodevelopment and quality of life.

I graduated in Psychology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2011) and am a qualified General Health Psychologist and Neuropsychologist. I have further specialised through master's degrees and postgraduate studies in clinical neuropsychology, neuropsychological rehabilitation, and child and adolescent clinical psychology.

My professional experience spans clinical psychology and neuropsychology, including assessment and intervention with children, adolescents and adults. My work has focused particularly on children and adolescents, from early intervention through adolescence, addressing neurodevelopmental, neurological and mental health conditions and their cognitive, emotional and behavioural impact. I am also involved in university teaching in the field of paediatric neuropsychology.

I am currently a member of the VHIR Research Group on Infection and Immunity in Paediatric Patients, where I participate in the research project "Tinc IDP. No estic sol", funded by the BCN PID Foundation. My work focuses on assessing psychological and psychosocial needs, providing emotional and family support, and helping patients and families adapt to illness. It also includes neurodevelopmental assessment, coordination with educational and healthcare services, and contributing to data collection aimed at studying the impact of immunodeficiencies on patients' and families' well-being and quality of life.
