My journey has been a pursuit guided by instinct, marked by confronting challenges, and spanning continents out of a profound curiosity to comprehend diverse perspectives. These experiences have woven themselves into the fabric of my identity.
I am a lawyer, senior consultant and mentor, as well as a lecturer at Universities and Business Schools, and public speaker. Additionaly, I am an award-winning female entrepreneur, passionate writer, global advisor to numerous organizations, and trustee for a charity dedicated to providing education and shelter to children across Latin American countries.
Born in Santiago de Compostela, renowed as the final destinations for worldwide pilgrims completing El Camino de Santiago (St. James Way), I grew up immersed in a magical environment that instilled in me an appreciation for the diversity among people from an early age.
Much like a pilgrim navigating obstacles along the journey, my life has been a continuous pilgrimage, characterised by overcoming cultural barriers and adapting to new surroundings. This experience has influenced my professional career within a culture that values diversity, fostering my enjoyment in assisting others with their personal development. It has transformed my work into a fusion of passion and lifestyle.
Having lived and worked in various countries across four continents, I have embraced the challenge of immersing myself in different cultures to achieve success both professionally and personally. However, this journey was not without obstacles. Failure and adversity have taught me priceless lessons, shaping me into the person I am today.
I’ve evolve my mindset and can guide you to do the same!
Currently based in London, I leverage my two decades of experience to guide others through challenges I have personally faced. My mission is to address the question, «How can I enhance my Spanish skills and navigate cultural barriers across all aspects of my life?»
My approach integrates Spanish language training with the principles of Cultural Intelligence (CQ). I am deeply passionate about helping individuals achieve their desired level of Spanish fluency while authentically connecting with Spanish culture.
Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual, I customise my one-on-one mentoring to suit your specific needs. Just as your style differs in your native language, it also evolves in a foreign language. Authenticity fosters genuine connections, and I aim to help you achieve this in Spanish. Showcase your personality while speaking Spanish!
Get in touch today and embark on your Spanish language journey with me. Sail with conviction using my «Cultural Compass» method, rooted in Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Gain the confidence and skills to communicate effectively in Spanish and forge meaningful connections that endure.
I am here to help you Improve, Grow, and Evolve; not merely Adapt.
My Approach
HOLISTIC CUSTOMIZED INTENSIVE 1-TO-1
Because full immersion in a language is the quickest way to learn, I offer intensive mentoring days tailored to your schedule. Given that we are all unique, I design programmes for each client individually, based on their objectives and goals, and in the city of their choice (London or Madrid).
Improve your Spanish skills while also increasing your Cultural Intelligence, because learning a language entails the acquisition of not only linguistic forms but also ways of thinking and behaving.
It is not necessary to be an expert on Spanish cultures, but it is important to be aware of the fact that differences do exist and that such differences must be respected.
We will practice real-world scenarios so that you can immediately apply what you learn.

CULTURAL COMPASS ® - Grounded in Cultural Intelligence (CQ), my methodology revolves around four cardinal points. These points emphasise the linguistic and interpersonal skills essential for success in cross-cultural Spanish scenarios.
