1. Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from and what were you doing before arriving at THINK Global School?

I’m originally from southern Spain, although over the last two decades I’ve had the opportunity to live, work, and learn in more than 60 countries.

I began my career as an Environmental Scientist, working on research and sustainability projects in places like Argentina, Portugal, Iceland, and the North Sea, before discovering my passion for education while teaching Spanish in China, Russia, and Hong Kong. Since then, I’ve worked across a wide range of educational settings, from international schools to universities and educational organizations, designing learning experiences that help young people connect with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Before joining Think Global School, I led the launch of the Rafa Nadal School of Sport, directed educational innovation projects for schools and universities across Europe and Latin America, and worked as an educational consultant supporting curriculum design, advisory programs, project-based learning, and educator professional development.

2. What are your favorite aspects of your job?

I love being part of a diverse international community. Every day I can learn something new from my colleagues and students, and I think that constant exchange of perspectives is one of the greatest privileges of working at THINK Global School.

3. What aspects of THINK Global School’s educational model do you find most appealing?

What I find most inspiring about Think Global School is that learning is genuinely connected to the real world. Students don’t just study global issues, they experience them firsthand, engage with local communities, and learn to navigate complexity with empathy and curiosity.

I also deeply value the school’s commitment to educating the whole person. Academic growth is important, but so are well-being, self-awareness, relationships, and purpose. That holistic approach aligns closely with my own philosophy as an educator.

4. If you could make one major change to global education, what would it be?

I would love to see education place as much value on human development as it does on academic achievement. Schools do an incredible job helping students learn about the world, but I believe they should also help students understand themselves, their strengths, values, purpose, and responsibilities to others.

Also, I would make outdoor learning an essential part of every student’s education, rather than an occasional enrichment activity. Nature is one of our greatest teachers. It invites curiosity, perspective, resilience, and wonder. I believe the challenges of the future will require people who not only understand the world, but also feel connected to it, and that connection often begins outside the classroom.

5. Which of our core values do you feel you most embody, and why?

That’s a difficult question because I genuinely connect with all of our core values in different ways. If I had to choose just one, though, I would probably say Pixki.

Nature has always been my greatest teacher and my best medicine. Whenever I spend time outdoors, I feel grounded, inspired, and incredibly grateful. Those moments remind me why protecting the natural world matters so much and why my actions, no matter how small they may seem, can truly make a different and inspire others to do the same.

6. What is your most memorable travel experience thus far?

Sailing around the world with Peace Boat!

7. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?

New Zealand is definitely in my top list!

8. What is your favorite book, and why?

That’s probably the hardest question of all! I read a lot, so it’s almost impossible to choose just one favorite book. My answer also changes depending on where I am in life and whether we’re talking about fiction, non-fiction, poetry…

In fiction, I’m drawn to the quiet beauty and subtle storytelling of Japanese authors such as Yasunari Kawabata and Yoko Ogawa.

In non-fiction, I always come back to Claire Marin, whose reflections on identity, change, and human relationships resonate deeply with me.

When it comes to poetry, “Los desengaños” by Antonio Lucas is the one that is always on my bedside table.
