Overview

I am an ESRC-funded PhD researcher at JOMEC and a graduate tutor at the English department in ENCAP.

My research looks at how the Spanish press understands the end of the Basque conflict. I specialise in media discourse analysis, communication and post-conflict processes.

My work combines perspectives from media studies, linguistics, and the social sciences to examine how language and media narratives may relate to the social construction of conflict, memory, and democratic processes.

I have experience in academic research, university teaching, and professional communication in multilingual environments (Spanish and English), as well as in writing, editing, translation, and content development. I hold Associate Fellow (AFHEA) recognition.

My interests lie at the intersection of language, media, and culture, including discourse analysis, political communication, sociocultural identities and media representation.
