economist and psychology student in Madrid, España
‘’ Do what you love and do it often’'
I would like to encourage everyone to do more of what makes them happy. It is how I try to spend every second of my life.
Passionate about food, traveling and fitness. I am a just graduated economist from Barcelona, currently living in Madrid. I recently started my second degree in Psychology. I always say to myself: 'no matter how hard your life is being, keep learning'.
I grew up in one of the biggest cities of Cataluña: Badalona. Since I can remember, I have always loved dancing and acting. For this reason, I have taken dancing and acting lessons until one year ago, when I moved to Edinburgh. I took three years of acting classes in El Timbal Barcelona, one of the best acting companies of the city. Once I am fully installed in Madrid, I want to restart taking acting lessons again.
Now, you know some of my hobbies. But I am more than that!
I left my home in January to start a new adventure in one of the most wonderful cities I have ever been, Edinburgh. As lots of european students, I became part of an Erasmus Programme. I studied in the University of Edinburgh where I took English lessons and Digital Business and Marketing courses. I had the opportunity to learn new teaching methods as well as socialize and discovering new cultures.
Thanks to this experience, I have learnt that life begins where your comfort zone ends. This is one of the main reasons which motivate me to seek for new adventures and keep learning and meeting new people.
About my professional experience, I did an internship in ELISAVA. I worked as a data analyst using Excel and Access as the main tools in the Business Development department of the company. I worked in the creation of a database for the implementation of a CRM. I also attend to meetings with the CRM provider company. My main tasks were: creation of databases, tables and dynamic graphs for later use in sales evaluation meetings of the company.
About my future I would say I am open to new opportunities which make me grow personally and professionally.
