About

Summary

Master in Business Administration graduate and Vicens Vives Programme graduate at ESADE Business School.

Until now, I have been working in public and private institutions as a project manager of higher education (university and non-university), research, development and Innovation (R+D+I) projects. At the same time, I have been teaching subjects, at undergraduate or master’s degree level, at Catalan public and private universities.

Finally, I do really love indoor and outdoor activities and worldwide cuisines. Regarding this, I am a promoter of a healthy lifestyle as something necessary to achieve any personal or professional goal.
