Paula is an early-career researcher focused ob public health and environmental justice. She has a bachelor’s degree in Human Biology from the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) in Barcelona and a MSc in Public Health (M.P.H). She holds a PhD in Biomedicine, specialising in Public Health and Epidemiology. She has developed her predoctoral research at the Institute of Global Health in Barcelona (ISGlobal) within the Childhood and Environment programme. Her work was explored the underlying biological mechanisms of early life environmental exposures mainly in urban areas, with special focus on air pollution and maternal smoking, widely accepted as global public health problems.

She has recently joined the BCNUEJ as a postdoctoral researcher to continue growing as an epidemiologist and health scientist collaborating with the GreenME project. She focuses on exploring the interconnections within health, green, and blue space policies. Her research delves into assessing the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and cause-and-effect pathways of nature-based therapy, while also formulating practical solutions and co-creating policies to be implemented.
