I'm from a town in Alicante called Muro d'Alcoi.

I'm not married but I have a partner. His name is Sergi and I don't have childrens yet.

WHAT ARE YOU TEACHER OFF?

I'm a maths teacher. I studied physics, but I signed up to be a mathematics teacher and here at the school I help with the whole Erasmus issue.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ASPECT ABOUT YOUR SUBJECT?

I have always liked numbers and it is a very objective subject and I like teaching mathematics. Although I really like languages.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A TEACHER? 

I've always liked teaching, but mostly because I was doing my doctorate and the department I was in said they needed professors and hired me. Also, there were many teachers in my family, and this caught my attention.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE AOUT BEING A TEACHER? AND DON'T LIKE?

I like that every day is different, also being with people, working with teenagers. Likewise if you are a teacher you learn new things. What I don't like is that working with teenagers can be a bit difficult as they lack respect, and I don't like that.

IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO?

I think I would like to work in something related to languages ​​or computers since I really like them and if possible, a job that allows me to travel a lot.

DO YOU LIKE TRAVEL?

A lot, whenever I can and have money I travel.

WHICH TEACHERS DO YOU GET ALONG WELL WITH?

I think I get on well with everyone, I like the atmosphere of this centre, but especially Mireia, Georgina, Fanny. Especially with the teachers who are in this part of the high school.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

I really like sports, for example swimming, dancing, going to the mountains, I also do yoga and hanging out with friends.

IN THE SUMMER WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

I really like to travel and whenever I can I do it. For example, last year I went to Mexico and I really liked the food and the people. Also see the family. 

WHY YO GO TO MEXICO?

Because my partner really wanted to visit this country but I had a little respect because you always hear bad things about Mexico and they scare you. But it was quite the opposite as I was very surprised by the people and the delicious food.

WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL?

I would like to go to Asia. Especially in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. Especially these places for the subject of gastronomy and nature.

WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEAL?

I really like paella because it is very typical of the place where I live. I don't have any food that I don't like as I love trying new things. What I don't like very much is the "bean soup".

IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY, WHAT WOULD YO DO?

I would really like to buy a motorhome and travel around the world. In addition, I would buy a house or an apartment to invest the money.

WHICH FAMOUS PERSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET?

I would like to meet Brad Pitt because he is very handsome. Also, if she were alive, I would like to meet Marie Curie.

HOW MANY LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK?

I speak Catalan, Spanish and English but also a little bit of French.

DO YOU LIKE WATCHING MOVIES AND SERIES, OR READING BOOKS?

I really like reading books at night, it helps me sleep better. The last book I read was "Les Calçes al sol" which is about a girl who goes to the USA and it reminds me a lot of me, since I also traveled to the USA. This book is really fun and I highly recommend it. 

My favorite movie when I was little was "El Guardaspaldas" but I have more movies that I like.

DO YOU LIKE MEETING FRIENDS AND FAMILY?
Yes, whenever I can I visit my family who live six hours away. I also like to be with my friends but sometimes with work and everything is difficult. I also have to make more friends where I live (Sant Feliu de Guíxols).

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD?

I remember playing with my sister who is a year older in the playground every afternoon. As my mother worked in an appliance store, we used the boxes to build houses.

WHERE DID YOU GO TO PRIMARY SCHOOL? AND SECONDARY?

I went to my village, the school was called Bracal. I also did secondary in the same place.

WHO IS THE TEACHER THAT YOU REMEMBER IN YOUR CHILDHOOD?

I remember Doña Alicia a lot because she did bad things that if you had done them now, she would have been kicked out.  As a good one, I remember a maths teacher, she was very good at teaching but not so much as a person.

WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE ABOUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL?

I would really like to come to one building, that we are all together (all courses and teachers) because I think that would help us to do more things and to be more connected.
