Biography

Hi there,

I am a Spaniard who moved to California in 2012 to re-start my career in a new language. I am currently based in Los Angeles and after a long journey of struggles I can finally say this place feels like home : )

I currently work in a Media company as a Human Resources Business Partner. My previous work experience was with The Walt Disney Company, where I stayed for +7 years and worked in both HR and Recruiting.

At night, I work on my personal projects and developing my brand: Creative Career Thinking (www.creativecareerthinking.com). I am also working on a podcast that I am going to launch soon and a collection of books.

I am hungry to connect with creatives, ideators and anyone open to exchange stories and learning from each other.
