Graduated in Business Sciences and Master in Sport Management. I am passionate about sport, it is my way of life and indispensable in my daily life. I'm lucky to work in a field that I enjoy very much. I love starting the day with a little running or trail running to charge the physical and mental batteries. I also like to travel and, sometimes under the excuse of participating in a race. I'm collaborator of RUNNEA, hoping to contribute, to add valor to the project and to the area in general.
