Bio

I was born in Madrid, where I studied Labor Relations and Human Resources at the Complutense University. Although my academic background focuses on people and organizational dynamics, I have always been drawn to numbers and the economic side of how organizations work. I have also lived in Oslo and Seattle—experiences that broadened my perspective and helped me understand different ways of learning, working, and adapting to new environments.

I recently joined the finance department at Syracuse Madrid, where I am excited to continue growing professionally and to contribute an organized, people-oriented approach to managing financial processes. Working in international education allows me to combine my interest in numbers with my understanding of people—something that feels both natural and motivating to me.

I use she/her/ella pronouns.

Bio

I was born and raised in Getafe, a small city close to Madrid, and I earned a degree in political science at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and a graduate degree in fundamental rights at the Universidad Carlos III. Afterward, I moved to England where I lived for more than two years, which afforded me the perspective of living abroad.

My professional life has developed in finance and accounting departments in different companies. I joined SU Madrid in 2012 where I’ve enjoyed the great experience of working with students.

I use he/his/él pronouns.
