Thirty years of her life between the USA and Japan mainly in the field of the research, first in veterinary medicine and later in education.

Over the years, she has carried out a broad range of advisory activities, led seminars and workshops, and published a book with one of Japan's leading publishing houses in which she argues for the need to renew educational action on the basis of the principles of learner-centred education.
