My parents got fed up with my childhood because of the amount of questions I asked. Over time I have not improved. With more than 10 years dedicated to the social impact world, I am obsessed with exploring new ways to regenerate ourselves & the planet.I joined Kiva.org seeking to amplify the transforming power of impact investment and social entrepreneurship. Working in 4 different continents made me realize that building bridges to close society´s biggest gaps was by purpose.I Co-founded Rooral.co to bridge the urban-rural gap. We support small Spanish villages to host for remote workers, which in turn help preserve rural culture and identity.I believe empathy is the starting point for everything. Passionate about how social enterprises, wellbeing and technology can contribute to regenerate communities & Planet.I lose my head surfing and dancing. I find my heart with better questions. Stay positive

Co-Founder & CeoRooral Nov 2019 - PresentSpainCurrent Generations grew up being told success was in big cities. This provoked the biggest migration ever, from rural to urban areas, accelerating inequality, climate change and mental health issues. We are reverting this, by demonstrating small villages can be restorative remote work hubs. How? Rooral.co partners with small Spanish villages to host remote workers and provide all they need to slow down, get their work done and try real rural life.This affluence of remote workers gives villages a new income stream (specially important in low season), more social life, collaborations and a higher sense of self-esteem.
