"Every journey begins with a first step. Mine was at the ETSI (School of Civil Engineering) with a degree in Civil Engineering. It could have been somewhere else or at another time, but this was mine. This is how I began the journey that has brought me here. So far, I've never regretted it."

I am currently working as a project manager and supervisor at CERN , following a brief period as a freelance consultant. My responsibilities range from assisting with project design to overseeing and finalizing the work. I interact with all stakeholders: end users, technical teams, contractors, and support services. The projects are generally industrial in nature, such as the construction of electrical installations, buildings for scientific equipment, or the demolition of obsolete infrastructure.

On a more personal level, my academic and professional career has been quite varied. A restless person, I have combined my studies with different activities and projects: study abroad exchanges, volunteering, and international cooperation placements.
