My first steps into Drama were when I was still a teenager at Cristina Rota School (Madrid) where I got strong foundations in Improvisation and Method Acting, but also an insatiable thirst for answers about the human condition. Looking backwards maybe that was the reason why I decided later on to study Philosophy. Anyway… after three years at College I started to feel theatre-sick. I needed some action in my life and I decided to enroll in EMAD (Madrid) where I learnt from Brecht and Lecqoc acting techniques; circus and physical theatre among others. After graduating in Performing Arts and finish my Master Degree in Philosophy by UAM University, I enrolled at Carmen Senra Dance School where I studied Jazz and Classic and Contemporary Ballet.

Time went by and having being part of quite a few unforgettable theatre projects in Spain, I wanted to be able to perform at least in both Spanish and English languages. I decided then to push myself out of my comfort line and move to London were I had to face the challenges of performing in a language different from my own. In London I have learnt the secrets of Shakespeare rhymes and verses; the power of Augusto Boal´s theatre of the Oppressed; I have explored  Meisner technique deeper, I have met theater makers from all over the world that taught me different approaches in our field…And here I am now, traveling back an forth from London to Madrid willing to work anywhere, and keep learning something new every single day of my life.
