About 

I received my architectural degree in 2001 from the University of Seville in Spain and my Masters Degree form Columbia university in 2010.

After my graduation from the University of Seville I was part of Cruz&Ortiz architecture team for five years, working intensively and with great motivation. I managed complex projects and tasks taking significant responsibilities including the restoration of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Holland. In addition, outside Cruz&Ortiz I worked on several competitions, placing first in three projects and getting the commission for one of them, a museum of the Prehistory of Cadiz, in Spain. The building was finished in 2009. 

In search of for new Challenges, I moved from Cruz&Ortiz to join the Consejeria de Obras Publicas y Transportes, a public company for the Regional Government of Andalusia, Spain, where I took responsibility for a variety of tasks in the public buildings development.

 I have been interning at Link-Arc studio over the past month, but I am seeking a larger and more established architecture firm.

Currently, I have resumed my academic studies and I am currently working toward my PhD degree in new architectural practices and computer design.
