Profile

I obtained a Modern Foreign Languages degree at the Universidad de Málaga, where I also completed a PGCE in English, French and German.  I worked for a few years as a secondary school teacher both in the UK and Spain and, then, I continued my postgraduate studies focusing on the use of emerging technologies in Spanish as a Foreign Language at the Universidad de Antonio Nebrija in Madrid.

In the UK I have worked at The University of Manchester, The Open University and the Instituto Cervantes in Manchester/Leeds amongst other institutions.
