I grew up in a bilingual family (ES-DE) in Germany and languages and cultures have always been my passion.

In 2005, I graduated with a First from the renowned FTSK in Germersheim, Germany, with DE, ES, EN as my working languages (M.A. in Translation - FTSK - Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz), and spent 2 years abroad (in Granada, Spain and Bristol, UK).

In March 2019, I participated in a Korean language course in Seoul, South Korea.
