She has also worked as an abstract reviewer at international conferences and as a peer-reviewer for national and international journals. She has been Associate Editor at RESLA (Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics) and, to date, an active member in one Erasmus+ project and thirteen research projects, funded nationally and regionally, which, among others, have yielded the multipurpose knowledge base FunGramKB (www.fungramkb.com) and the multi-modal crowdsensing-based system ALLEGRO (http://allegro.ucam.edu/).
