About

English, Spanish, Catalan and Romanian polyglot. I dream in Spanish and English. Romania defines my childhood, Spain, my formative years. Since then, I lived in the UK -still here-, Mexico, Turkey and the US.

I studied Philosophy, and my own philosophy is mostly concerned with practicing what I preach. This is, engaging with the Other from an ethos of care, understanding, and compassion, whilst towards myself, I am always in the process of developing my mind and body. Change starts inside and I want to be my first example of want I want to see in the world. I am still far away from my ideal self, as it should be, and I fail miserably at it sometimes more than others, but Ithaca is the journey.

My professional career for the past decade focused on working with purpose-led organisations in finding their leaders. I managed projects and cross-cultural teams across continents. I completed with distinction an LLM in International Law, Globalisation, and Development, and pursued an assignment with UNDP – IICPSD in Istanbul. Previously, I volunteered with Amnesty International Spain. For more information, you can access my LinkedIn profile.

I retrained in cybersecurity, bringing together my interests in technology, philosophy and law to use cybersecurity as a force for good. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Cybersecurity.

I write since I was 12. First, diaries, then blogs, at 16, 17. I have a personal blog which I have been writing since 2012, Ad kalendas Graecas. Feelings, sensations, and thoughts are all there. Melancholy prevails. You can find some of it brought to life in Ad Kalendas Graecas (Círculo Rojo, 2024) as a bilingual edition in English and Spanish.

Academically – and existentially -, I am interested in belonging, finding home and meaning. I am fascinated by people and our limits or lack of.

This will be as well the topic of the blog you will find publicly in this space, at Age quod agis, with Cities as the main locus. I only write from experience and literature, so be advised of the style.

Finally, music is, with literature, chocolate, wine, and good conversations, one of the things in life which keep me alive. I always treated it -music- from the passive side, by listening to it. I am trying, for years now, to be on the other side. I am very scared of it and never feel ready for it. But to the question: what would you do if you only had 6 months left of life?, what comes to mind first and always is: singing. I will keep you posted.
