Life takes many turns and is full of opportunities.
My arrival at the sea was by chance, or so I thought. When I was little, to see my grandparents we had to go by boat, my father had a *little boat and we would go out with him.
I have always enjoyed being with people and getting to know the world. I have done many different things, from being a monitor in leisure centres to producing television and events such as world dance championships, I am a senior technician in producing audiovisuals and shows. I also worked as a teleoperator in 061 for the EPES (Public Health Emergency Company) and in 112 in Andalusia, which is why I know so much about emergencies… but my true vocation came when I was given the opportunity to sail in the Tall Ships regatta on the schooner Thopaga. I finished my internship to be an Electronic Radio Officer in a Maritime Radio Communications Coordination Centre (CCR) and years later I worked in a multinational where I was able to resume my career in a CCR.
This stage ended and thanks to this I arrived at Escola Port where I can continue enjoying my two passions: my profession and my family.
