MY STORY
... My early years
I was born in Madrid (Spain) I'm the youngest of
four siblings. In my early years life was full of fun
although, I guess for my parents must have been
exhausting to look after a 'gang of snotty kids'.
A sporty girl
During my teenage years I played many different
sports. I specially excelled in swimming but loved
handball and volleyball. Nowadays I work out in a
gym and take ballet classes.
BSc in Psychology
I got a BSc. in Psychology from the Universidad
Complutense de Madrid. Later on I took a Business
Administration course. I worked as an IQ test
trainer for some years until I went to UK to learn
English.
London (UK)
During this period (1993 - 1996) I worked for the
Spanish School and looked after kids while learning
English and studying European Business
Administration.

2. Back home
I moved back to Madrid at the end of May 1996.
Soon after my arrival I worked as a trainee for the
HR Dept. at Lucent Technologies. I was in charge of
the definition of the timelines of the different HR
areas. The job lasted only 3 months but I had a hint
of what being HR staff meant.
1997 - 1999 Executive Assistant
After Lucent I moved to the administrative support
area. Since my first day as an Assistant at
Comercial Berceo I have worked with GMs and
senior managers. My school has been the day to
day work but it was my eagerness to learn and
excel in my job that brought me great successes.
From May 1997 to February 1999 I worked as an
EA for different companies: Comercial Berceo /
Endesa / Supercanal de Cable de España / Estudio
Jurídico R. Egea & J. Rosas.
1999 - 2008 Marketing Co-ordinator //
Executive Assistant to GM, President and
Board of Directors
I joined Banco Halifax Hispania (retail banking) as
Executive Assistant but my job implied being also
Office Manager and Marketing Assistant. From
2000 to 2006 I kept my duties as EA and Marketing
Co-ordinator. In 2006 I moved full time to
Marketing. In my last months in the bank I was a
member of the Social Responsibility Committee.
Personal Assistant to the Head of Urology
Centre of Excellence
In 2008 I joined GlaxoSmithKline (pharma industry).
In the CoE I basically performed administrative
tasks and a bit of marketing. I was also trained as
ADP practitioner and co-ordinated team building
activities.
