She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, a Master of Science (Neurobiology), and a Ph.D. in Psychology (Behavioral Neuroscience), both from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. She holds certifications in neonatal and infant assessment: 1) The Network NICU Neonatal Scale, 2) the Pretchl Method for the qualitative assessment of general movements, 3) Infant Massage from the IAIM’s Mexico chapter, and 4) Emotional Availability Scales and Emotional Attachment Zones.

Her line of research focuseson biomarkers of childhood neurodevelopment, with the goal of identifying early behavioral risk markers for neurodevelopment and recognizing the individual characteristics and unique needs of each infant. This has made it possible to propose adjustments to their care based on the resources available in both the home and hospital settings, with the aim of promoting optimal neurodevelopment during the first two years of life. The findings of this research have led to outreach activities for parents, presentations at national and international scientific conferences, and publications in various indexed scientific journals.

Since 2015, she has worked as a Research Professor in the Research Coordination Office of the School of Psychology at the Universidad Panamericana, where, in addition to her teaching and research duties, she supervises thesis projects.
