BIO:

Graduated in Business Management at the University of Murcia, Spain. I moved to the USA to study drama at the Conservatory of the University of Ohio.

From Ohio, I moved to New York City to work as a production assistant in Sharon Greytak's long feature film "Love Lesson".

Upon my return to Spain, I began working in film production in Madrid. Four years later, I became a scriptwriter writing scripts for TV series, mostly thrillers and comedies, such as "The Misteries of Laura", (american version bought by NBC).

In 2007 I won the SGAE (Spanish Author's Society) National Award for my teenagers play "Au revoir, Marie" about two kids that travel in time to the French Revolution. It is a recommended book in Secondary Education in Spain.

In these years, while working on TV, I have written+directed two short films and a selfproduced long feature film: "Waiting for September" (2012).

"Waiting for September" was officially selected for various wellknown film festivals throughout Spain, starting Festival of Málaga, and won Best Film and Best Actress at Festival of Castilla La Mancha and a Special Mention at Opera Prima Film Festival in Tudela.

This season 2018-19, I created and produced a new TV format called "Los Investigadores" (The Investigators) premiered in channel CMM. "Los Investigadores" has recently received the Jury Award at PREMIOS IRIS (National TV Awards). #PremiosIris

I created the film school Creando Cine, sited in Madrid, and specialized in independent filmmaking.

Education is a big matter of interest for me.
