  Advanced Technician in Socio-Cultural Animartion

  My work consisted of doing group activities and therapy, developing empathy, security, bonding and affection, trust and respect in order to feel self-realised. I also worked on photography as therapy, as I realised that by using this tool, they felt more comfortable and united.

  Self Employed

  Jun 2016 - now

  Thanks to the motivation of my teacher Irene Ballester when it came to giving classes, she passed on all her enthusiasm to me and I began to give classes. First to my classmates in petit comité and then with people who were just starting out in the artistic world. In less than two years I was already teaching in photography schools and festivals. I also teach courses, history of photography classes and tutorials. As I like to innovate, in the last year I have been studying marketing and communication -social media, copywriting, seo and web-, which fascinates me and I have implemented in my photography courses and tutorials. Since then, I have not stopped accompanying people who want to develop their creative process to find their own voice. Show less In 2014, after my time as an occupational therapist and working with photography as therapy, I decided to specialise as a photographer. I found my voice in themes such as memory and identity, always from an everyday point of view and focused on self-exploration. For the last 8 years I have been a speaker at various photography schools and festivals in Spain. I have also worked as a photographer in editorials such as TELVA, NEO2, Tzuji or Photo Vogue Italy. In addition, I have exhibited in galleries and sold my work nationally and internationally, such as Officine Fotografiche Gallery (IT), RevelaT (ES), Fiebre Photobook (ES), The Photographers Gallery (GB), Masc Foundation Gallery (AUS), Fondazione Luciana Matalon (IT) or The Royal Photographic Society (GB). And I have been awarded several prizes and grants such as Nikon Photo Contest (JP), Art Photo Bcn (ES) or the professional photography award at IPE 164 The Photography Society (GB). Show less

  Peaceful Solutions UK

  Feb 2022 - Apr 2023

  Thanks to my organisational and communication skills, I was promoted to the position of assistant director. I started working in this charity because, as well as having experience and having worked with people with mental health problems, where teamwork and communication are very important, and having previously volunteered in the prison of Castellón (Valencia, Spain), I saw that their vision of a company was similar to my values when it came to working with people in vulnerable situations.
