I have been working in as Project manager, fieldwork (macro and microinvertebrates, phytoplankton, phytobenthos and aquatic plants sampling, fishingand hydromorphological descriptions)and lab analysis (macroinvertebrates, chironomids taxonomy and aquatic plants identification, as well as physico-chemical analysis).My main projects were focused in the Water Framework Directive implementation in Spain, river restoration, invasive species monitoring and documents for spreading environmental information.

I am currently working as technician as well as some other administrative works but I would also continue with my limnological studies.
