Hello!

My life journey has shaped me into a well-rounded individual with a unique blend of expertise and a willingness to continually expand my horizons.

Living in four different countries has undoubtedly broadened my perspective, exposing me to various cultures, languages, and ways of life. This experience has equipped me with a capacity to adapt to new environments and making me open-minded.

Embarking on a new career as a Data Engineer/Data Analyst last year marked a significant transition from my highly successful career as a Music teacher. My years of teaching not only honed my skills in effectively communicating and sharing knowledge but also taught me how to be a good listener, understand and support the needs of those around me. Having these skills has been very helpful in my journey in the data field.

In this current chapter of my life, having recently moved to Spain with my family, I am embracing new challenges in daily life, a fresh language, and cutting-edge technologies. I am resolute in continuing my growth and contributing meaningfully to the tech community and beyond.
