Short biography
I am an archaeologist and humanist by vocation. I studied humanities at the University of Burgos and later, I resumed my studies at the University of Barcelona with a master’s degree in Archaeology, where I also obtained my PhD in 2019. Due to life circumstances, I have lived in several Eastern European countries and I have oriented my work towards teaching, always within the field of Humanities. I also work in Archaeology and I am a member of the research team of the Roman site of Colonia Clunia Sulpicia (Peñalba de Castro-Burgos).
