I hold a B.A. in History with distinction from the University of Santiago de Compostela (2011), as well as a M.A. in Medieval European Studies withdistinction (2012). Currently, I am in the process of completing my Ph.D. in history at the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia-Spain) with Professor Ermelindo Portela Silva. My research is on “The position of women in medieval society. An analysis of the testamentary practice in Galicia from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries”. I had have a predoctoral fellowship (Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport) and I have been working at the University of Santiago de Compostela, Instituto de Estudos Galegos Padre Sarmiento (CSIC) and Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades (Xunta de Galicia). My research focuses primarily on the history of women in the NW Iberian Peninsula during the medieval period and the history of the aristocracy in Late Middle Ages.
