I lecture on English language and linguistics at the Department of English and German Philology, University of Valencia. I teach English Discourse Analysis to under-graduate students of English Studies, and Discourse in the Media at graduate level.

I am a research member of the Interuniversity Institute of Applied Modern Languages (IULMA). My research interests include (digital) discourse analysis, sociopragmatics, and inter-/ cross-cultural communication. I have contributed chapters to international volumes and published papers in renown journals like Language & Communication, Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict, Journal of Pragmatics, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Pragmatics & Society, Journal of Politeness Research, Intercultural Pragmatics, Journal of Language and Politics, and Gender & Language. I am editor of several volumes and special issues. I am cofounder of the Approaches to Digital Discourse Analysis-ADDA Conference series and organised the first one at the University of Valencia (2015).

I have evaluated manuscripts for international scholarly journals and publishers.
