I was born in Asturias, and grew up in a village called Quintes, in Villaviciosa. I trained as a specialist Physical Education teacher at Oviedo University. Afterwards, I graduated as a specialist teacher for Children with SpecialEducational Needs also at Oviedo University.
I started my professional career as a teacher at Inmaculada School in Gijón,Asturias. In 2015 I moved to Mallorca, where I started to work in Private Education.
Athletics is the sport that has accompanied me wherever I have traveled: Imoved to Singapore and when I arrived, I joined an athletics club to train and totake part in races; I moved to Scotland and when I arrived I joined an athleticsclub to train and to take part in races; and of course when I moved to Mallorca I joined an athletics club, as if it were a basic need.
I started athletics when I was 9 years old thanks to the fact that the primary school I attended offered athletics as an extracurricular activity. Rocío Ríos (5th in the Marathon in the Atlanta 96 Olympic Games) was my coach. She and her own coach were the ones who encouraged me to start training after school and little by little I incremented my training days.
During my time at University, I belonged to Oviedo University Athletics Club and to Aquilino Castaño’s training group. Currently, in Mallorca I am part of Club de atletismo Sporting in Calvià.
