Graduated in Marine Sciences in 1995 at University of Cadiz (UCA). I started my professional career in the Department of Physical Oceanography at the UCA. Shortly after I got a scholarship at the Department of Physics in the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) to carry out work related to data management in the Physical Oceanography Group. I worked there until 2004 when I got a position as Oceanographic Instrumentation Technician at IMEDEA (CSIC). Since December 2021 I am responsible for the technological area at SOCIB. My mission is aimed to lead the team of technicians, organize their activities and act as a link with the rest of the facilities. I'm also responsible for the operation of the infrastructures that allow data collection such as field stations, workshops and laboratories. Regarding the infrastructures, a very relevant point is that I will be involved in the evolution of the construction of the new building.
