Full Professor at the School of Nursing, University of Navarra, and PhD in Nursing Science. Her academic and research career spans over a decade, focusing on health promotion, health education, the training of healthcare professionals, and the encouragement of healthy lifestyles across diverse populations. She has authored more than 30 scientific publications, most of them in high-impact journals (16 in Q1 and 5 in Q2 of the JCR), and has co-authored three academic books, including the teaching manuals of the European project INSTrUCT. She has participated in five competitive research projects and has received five awards in recognition of her research: four for best presentations at scientific conferences and one honourable mention (Accésit) in the "Enfermería en Desarrollo" Awards for her doctoral thesis. She was the coordinator for the University of Navarra in the European project INSTrUCT (Erasmus+, 2019–2022), which developed an open-access, multilingual e-learning resource aimed at training university students in brief smoking cessation interventions. The course is available at www.instruct-elearning.eu and has been successfully implemented in several European universities. The policy recommendations derived from this project were presented to representatives of the European Commission, the World Health Organization, and major academic networks in Brussels. She has co-supervised two doctoral theses (both awarded with “cum laude” honours) and is currently supervising three others, all related to health promotion, risk behaviour prevention, and the development of professional competences in nursing. Since September 2024, she has been a member of the research group "Innovation for Person-Centred Care" at the University of Navarra, after previously being part of the group "Innovation for the Promotion of Family and Community Health". She is also a researcher in the "Nursing Care Research" group at the Navarra Institute for Health Research (IdiSNA) and a collaborator in the SUN Project (Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra), one of the most internationally recognised longitudinal cohort studies in public health. She currently leads, on behalf of the University of Navarra, the project MAGNA (Older Adults, Addictions, Gender, Navarra), in collaboration with ANTOX and Lares Navarra, and funded by the Innova Programme of Fundación Caja Navarra and Fundación “la Caixa”. MAGNA aims to raise awareness and address substance use in older people from a gender-sensitive perspective, through professional training, community outreach, and policy development. As Board Member for Research and Innovation at the Navarre Official Nursing Association, she launched the first Observatory of Nursing Research promoted by a professional nursing organisation in Spain. This pioneering initiative aims to support, coordinate and enhance the visibility of scientific output among nurses in the region. She is a frequent contributor at national and international scientific conferences (with over 36 papers presented) and an active member of the Tobacco Working Group of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology, where she contributes her expertise in community intervention, evidence-based training, and public health.
