I finished high school in "Real Monasterio de Santa Isabel" in 1993. I graduated in Biology (specialty healthcare Biology) in 1998 from the University of Barcelona (UB). I just finished the degree of Geography and History at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). Throughout my career I have had different jobs, mostly related to the commercial sector. I worked as a freelance at Tipzity and nowadays I have a job in Halcón Viajes as a tourist guide assistant and as a Community Manager. I have also started out a company with a colleague but now the firm is closed down. When I am not working I like reading, walking and watching movies. My passion is history and that is the reason I studied Geography and History degree at the UNED. I also love science in general and astronomy in particular.
Education
2010-2017. Geography and History at UNED
One of my passions is history. That is the reason why I started the degree of Geography and History in 2010. As I worked and studied at the same time I couldn't finish the degree in 4 years. I graduated in 2017 after studying hard for seven years. I don't know what I will do in the future. Perhaps I'll start an anthropology degree.
2012-2014. Coursera
Coursera is a for-profit educational technology company offering massive open online courses (MOOCs). So far I have done twenty different courses. In nine of them I have earned a statement of accomplishment (some with distinction). It is a good way to improve knowledges and the English language.
1993-1998. Biology at Universitat de Barcelona
When I finished high school I had in mind several possibilities to keep on studying. I finally decided on biology. I do not regret. I had studied for five wonderful years before I got a degree. Studying Biology in Barcelona was a challenge. I specialized in healthcare biology.

Projects and jobs
2018-2026. High School Teacher
Now I work in a public high school for the whole academic year.
2016-2018. Sharing Academy
Sharing Academy is a peer-to-peer marketplace where university students share their knowledge and learn from their colleagues with private classes. The best tutor for a subject is the student who succesfully passed it. I teach subjects in the degree of Geography and History.
2014-2016. DEA Cardiocat
We offered an official course of using DEA and CPR. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure for manually preserving brain function until further measures to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest. It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal breathing, for example, agonal respirations.
2013-2018. Halcón Viajes and Nautalia
I worked as a commercial and tour guide assistant. In El Vendrell office you'll find all kinds of travel. Good prices and discounts are common in Halcón Viajes. I also made some advertising posters to show the different trips and update the facebook page (community manager).
2013-2014. Tipzity
The best way to discover Barcelona is with local friends. The hottest spots, best places to eat, the coolest bars, best dance clubs, the "must see" attractions, where locals go shopping, "dont's" in the city, move around with public transport, and a no-ending list.
2012-2013. Catalana Occidente
I worked here half a year but due to a change of residence I had to leave the job. The Catalana Occidente Group is one of Spain’s largest insurance groups. Founded in 1864, it has vast experience in the industry. The Group is renowned for its solid track record and proven solvency, as well as its coherent and profitable management. The Group bases its business on insurance in the broadest sense, covering all branches and products through its extensive network of professional agents.
2010-2012. Food processing
Food quality is an important food manufacturing requirement, because food consumers are susceptible to any form of contamination that may occur during the manufacturing process. Many consumers also rely on manufacturing and processing standards, particularly to know what ingredients are present, due to dietary, nutritional requirements (kosher, halal, vegetarian), or medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, or allergies).
2006-2010. Disbesa
I worked in this company for nearly four years as a commercial. After more than 55 years since its founding, the Disbesa-Darnés Group is currently the reference distribution for the horeca industry and food. Born from the merger of two family consolidated businesses, Disbesa-Darnés Group began its growth based on the effort and dedication, while consolidated its position as an industry leader in Catalonia, it was implanted in Madrid (1996), Andalucía (1998) and later in Benicarló (2001). Shortly after substantially expands product range with the introduction of refrigerated lines and fresh fruit and vegetables.
2004-2006. ING Direct
I worked for two years as a commercial developer. ING is a global financial institution of Dutch origin, currently offering banking, investment, life insurance (NN Group) and retirement services. We draw on our experience and expertise, our commitment to excellent service and our global scale to meet the needs of a broad customer base, comprising individuals, families, small businesses, large corporations, institutions and governments.

1998-1999. Curs de Qualificació Pedagògica (C.Q.P.)
C.Q.P. was a kind of Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitude (C.P.A.) equivalent to a PGCE in the UK. C.Q.P. was a professional qualification normally taught at university, with much of the course time spent on placements in local schools. A trainee teacher would have to meet the Standards for Qualified Teacher Status and any course specific requirements to be awarded the C.Q.P. Currently this course has been replaced by a specific master within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), known as the Bologna Process.
Now I work in a public high school for the whole academic year.
