Before that, she had already developed her career in SeaskaShe was accompanied by a team of colleagues to set up a very exciting project, the Gaztelueta Infant School, a very familiar centre located in the Old Golf Course.
Today, she continues with the same passion as in those years, coordinating the English Department and demonstrating day after day in the classroom her commitment to education and to Gaztelueta.

What time do you wake up every morning? I'm a late night person so I need the alarm clock to wake me up at 7:10am. I take advantage of every last minute to sleep in the morning.
What is your best moment of the day? Throughout the day there are many good moments I could choose, but I choose the afternoon, when I am with my children. I like to spend time with them and let them tell me how they have been at school, their stories and anecdotes of the day. It is a special time to talk and enjoy together.
Your favourite film? I don't have a particular favourite film, but I enjoy action films. They help me disconnect from the world and keep my mind clear.
Which historical figure would you go to dinner with? Honestly, I wouldn't choose any historical figure. I am one of those people who values spending time with people you care about.
What would you eat at your last meal? I wouldn't want to know that it's my last meal. I wouldn't care so much about the menu as with whom I would share that moment.
A phrase that has left its mark on you? I'll take two: "The only way to do good work is to love what you do." y
"Happiness is not a given. It comes from your own actions.
What has been the best thing about your time at Gaztelueta? I have experienced many special moments over the years, but I would like to highlight two of them. Firstly, the opportunity to help families in the education of their children. Secondly, the affection of the pupils who have been with me in Infants and who, as time goes by, always show their affection.
- With whom would you watch a sunset under this mast? I would love to be able to share this moment with my grandmother Antonia, who, although she is not with us, is still very present in my life.
