Current occupation

Communications expert & freelance trainer and facilitator

Work experience

I am a communications consultant and a trainer and facilitator. Some remarks on my facilitator and trainer journey are the EU Youth Conference in Spain where I worked as national co-facilitator, and my extensive experience as a member of the Pool of Trainers of the Spanish Youth Council since 2020. Additionally, I have worked in communications and marketing since 2017, and I am glad to use my expertise to train organizations in these matters.

I am a trainer/facilitator with high level of expertise in the following areas: communications, public speaking, social media management, campaign management, advocacy, youth participation, fundraising, management of local entities, events management. My background is cross-sectoral, as it comes mostly from the communications side in international environments, but it is paired with my extensive experience as a volunteer in Red Cross and Erasmus Student Network. I consider myself to be of an interdisciplinary nature.

I have delivered training within the following entities: Spanish Youth Council, Local/Regional Youth Councils in Spain, Erasmus Student Network, JEF, ERYICA, JOC España, ASDE Scouts de Extremadura, Youth Red Cross, among others. Besides, I have been a facilitator in the last two cycles of the EU Youth Dialogue in Spain, and I have taken part of the facilitation team of the last EU Youth Conferences under the Spanish and Belgian presidencies.

Apart from the above, I have worked as a leisure coordinator since 2012, which gave me a broad background in non-formal education, as well as working with young people and children.

I am part of the following Pools of Trainers: Youth Council of Spain (since 2020), JEF Europe and Youth@Work Partnership (since 2024).
