Archaeology is the science that studies the human past through material remains. In Egypt, however, archaeology is a way of life. Generations of Egyptians have been passing down over decades the skills to their children, a legacy that taught them about the desert: where to dig gently, where to dig with might. Some are virtuosos with a pick, some with a trowel, some with a brush, and all of them work under the gaze of the rais (arabic for foreman). International teams benefit of this wisdom by hiring local experts which help the scientists to unearth remains and bring back voices of the past.

She has exhibited in Jaén and Alcalá de Henares, with the topics of the results of the Spanish archaeological projects she currently works with in Egypt.
