I work currently as Lecturer at the Faculty of Media & Communication Science of the Complutense University of Madrid. I am a member of the research group Persuasive Strategies: Political and War Propaganda and of the innovative teaching group Comunica Historia. I also hold a seat on the research committee of the IPSA's Political Psychology group.
I obtained degrees in Journalism and Political Science, with a specialisation in International Relations, from the UCM. In 2012 I received an MA in Communication, Social Change and Development at the UCM. I hold a PhD in Journalism. Between 2012 and 2016 I was FPU fellow and carried out the research for my doctoral thesis on propaganda during the bombing of Yugoslavia titled "Kosovo: NATO's first attack operation. Information and propaganda in the Spanish media. March-June 1999".
Between 2018 and 2021 I was a lecturer in Communication and International Relations at the European University of Madrid and at the Nebrija University. Apart from the university, I worked as consultant in International Humanitarian Law.
The University of Ljubljana, the Free University of Brussels, RANEPA (Moscow) and the University of Rieka (Croatia) have been my host institutions on my research stays.
My research interests include political communication, war propaganda and, specifically, how persuasion techniques are put into practice in traditional media and social media.
On an exclusive basis for several years, and later combined with my academic career, I have worked as political consultant, communication advisor in the foreign communications office of an AI company and in a film production company. I have also frequently published newspaper pieces.
