I was born on a hot summer afternoon in Cabo de Gata, Almería, Spain. I studied Journalism in Málaga, Social Communication & Multimedia Design in Coimbra, Portugal, a Master’s in Cultural Journalism & New Trends at Rey Juan Carlos University, and a Master’s in Art Curating & Exhibition Coordination at Euroinnova International Education. I also completed a full course in Photography at La Ampliadora in Granada, Spain, in 2020.
After eight years working as a Quality Analyst for multinational companies such as TikTok in Dublin, I decided to make a significant change in my life. Since childhood, I have been captivated by the power of words and their ability to immerse us in countless, boundless universes. This fascination inspired me to start creating my own worlds through writing and capturing photographs as I travel the world.
My first book, Nacimos a un Océano de Distancia (We Were Born an Ocean Apart), was published by Editorial Sol de Sol in January 2020, and later that year, it was translated into English.
My first photographic exhibition, Fresh Lemonade, was exhibited in La Ampliadora Gallery in Granada.
My second book, Bollo de Higo is aimed at a young audience and has been published by Editorial Sol de Sol, with illustrations by artist Leyre Apellániz.
