01 — My Story
Curious, positive, empathetic — and a little restless.
A few chapters from a life lived across five countries.
01
MSC DIGITAL MARKETING
Dublin, Ireland
My intercultural journey continued in Dublin, where I completed an MSc in Digital Marketing at UCD Smurfit and built my career in international technology companies — IBM, Paligo and HubSpot — working with teams and customers across EMEA, LATAM and North America.
02
BSc Marketing Management
Lancaster, UK
After graduating from high school in Tenerife, I moved to Lancaster to study Marketing Management. I learned a lot academically, but just as much from coursemates and friends from all over the world.
03
Summer language exchanges
Montpellier & Lyon, France
I'm passionate about languages, so I spent several summers on French exchanges in Montpellier and Lyon, making friends from the USA, Spain and beyond. Those close to me know how much I grew during that first stay in France. It changed how I see life and what I value — but that's a story for another day.
04
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Montana, USA
One of the biggest steps I've taken came at fifteen, when I left for an eleven-month high-school exchange in Montana. I remember wondering how hard it might be — but I went with confidence and my family's support. After that year I surprised myself with how at home I felt surrounded by people from different cultures.
05
Where it began
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Since I was a kid, I've enjoyed talking to people and learning from them. That curiosity taught me to appreciate a little risk and to look for situations that take me outside my comfort zone. I probably wouldn't have explored that side of me without my family — they give me the final push when I'm unsure, and they're there when I need them most.
02 — Where I'm from
Sea and mountain, on the same day.
I was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one of eight islands in the Canaries, off the coast of Morocco. Tenerife is home to Mount Teide — at 3,718 m, the highest peak in Spain. I love going up for the sunset, or taking friends to see the sea of clouds from the top of the volcano.
What I love most is how the island lets you swim in the ocean in the morning and hike volcanic trails in the afternoon. I've visited every island except El Hierro — that one's next. If you're planning a trip, get in touch; I'm always happy to share places and restaurants.
