She obtained a degree in comparative literature in 2019, a master’s degree in literary and theatre studies in 2020, and a master’s degree in teacher training in 2021 from the University of Granada. In 2023, she was a visiting researcher at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
Her scholarly work includes the publication of articles and book chapters exploring the intersections of poetry and ecology, poetic thought, new materialisms, and Latin American literature. Notably, she curated an anthology of Chilean poet Raúl Zurita, titled Cielos por todas partes which was published in 2023. Berbel also provided prologues for Poeta en Nueva York (Poet in New York) by Federico García Lorca (Austral, 2020) and the ecopoetry book El sueño de toda célula (The Dream of Every Cell) by Maricela Guerrero (Kriller71, 2024).
