For over a decade, I have dedicated my career to re-imagine and re-define our ways of interacting with and developing digital technologies for education and the wider society for fairer futures.  Throughout these years, my scholarship has been grounded on extensive collaborations with the government, the industry and civil society and funded by a combined grant income of £100K from CONACYT, the Mexican Ministry of Education, the British City Council and Alumni Foundation.

Prior to my research career, I spent 5 years as an Educator in Mexico where I worked as a primary school teacher and a Lecturer at a Teacher Training College. In 2016 I pursued a master’s degree focused on the interconnected areas of technology, education and society. In 2021 obtained a PhD in Education where I explored emerging tensions across policy and practice on the use of digital technologies in Mexican primary schools. My research pioneered the use of an International Large Scale Assessment instrument (the IEA’s ICILS study) in the Mexican context and integrated case study evidence to enrich the findings. The study offered rich material to revisit current educational reforms in Mexico leading to several recommendations and collaborations with the Ministry of Education.

Parallel to my postgraduate studies I engaged in teaching and assessment at a variety of units for UG, master and PhD students in the fields of research methods in education and educational technologies. Furthermore, I collaborated on several interdisciplinary and international research projects such as the ICIPES and EdJAM, to mention a few.
