Valencia, Comunitat Valenciana, España

I am fascinated by multidisciplinary, multinational and multicultural challenges. I strongly believe that these challenges can only be solved in a sustainable way by implementing all stakeholders from the beginning of the solving process. Already in my early studies, I discovered my passion for co-creative processes thanks to several diverse experiences all over the world. I enjoy seeing strong bonds between people, businesses and opportunities and therefore I aim to connect people for noble purposes. As a graduate from the European master program ENTECH organized by EIT InnoEnergy, I had to dive several times into the unknown regarding the new social environment, cultural life and language. Having lived in Germany, Portugal, France, Belgium and Spain gives me the multinational, multicultural background I am fascinated by.
