Breve biografía profesional:

Se licenció en Ciencias Geológicas en 1985 en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), doctorándose por la misma universidad en 1989. Durante su etapa predoctoral realizó varias estancias de investigación en el departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra de la Universidad de Cambridge (Reino Unido), donde posteriormente también realizó una estancia postdoctoral. En 1990 se incorporó como Profesora Titular de Universidad al Departamento de Cristalografía y Mineralogía de la UCM, en el que es Catedrática de Universidad desde 2007. Ha sido vocal de la Junta Directiva de la Sociedad Española de Mineralogía en el periodo 2007-2010. Fue miembro de la Comisión Gestora del Instituto de Geociencias (CSIC, UCM) en 2011 y directora del departamento de Geomateriales de dicho instituto entre julio de 2011 y septiembre de 2013. Ha publicado más de 60 artículos en revistas SCI y ha dirigido 5 Tesis Doctorales y 9 Tesis de Licenciatura, DEAs y Trabajos Fin de Máster.
