I studied the Telecommunications Engineering degree at the University of Alicante. During those university years, I particularly enjoyed the subjects of programming and networks.
In my first job experience, I discovered the language Python and began working on creating applications to automate processes within the company. That experience enabled me some time later to head one of the software departments.
I have a passion for sports, and more specifically handball. I have played for 17 years in different teams and leagues, competing at the highest national level. Now I dedicate myself to training and passing on that passion to other girls.
The values that sport has taught me are commitment, sacrifice, humility and teamwork, and I apply them all in my professional life. I like challenges, moving out of my “comfort zone” and always giving my best.

When I finished high school I wanted to be a DJ, although life did not have the same plans for me, and I studied a Medium Degree in Administrative Management. I saw it practical but I didn't fall in love with it, I decided to give it one last chance and continue with a more dynamic Higher Degree, and I studied Management Assistance, my favorite subject was Human Resources Management. I loved the teacher and the subject. I remember being frustrated that I didn't get as good a grade as I expected. That made me more interested. I wanted to go into business, but when I found out that I could do people in this field, I saw a very clear path, and throughout my first year, I would walk into the building thinking "I've made it, I love it here".

My favorite subjects have been Work Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Sociology... and on the other extreme, Labor Law, maybe the latter I loved because of the professors or because of the feeling of justice that has also marked me. What I find most interesting, both professionally and personally, is human behavior. That is why I did my dissertation on Shared Leadership and how it influences the work climate and the performance of workers.
