I am currently developing my doctorate with the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) on geotourism and local development in rural mountain areas of the Pyrenees. My PhD corresponds to the research line of Planning and management of tourist destinations, tourism and local society of the Doctoral Program in Tourism (interuniversity: UMA, UA, UCA, UCM, UEX, ULL, Nebrija, UOC, URJC, USC, US , UVIGO).
I have a degree in Geology from the University of Barcelona (UB), with a Master’s degree in Territorial Planning and Environmental Management from the UB (2015) and a Master’s degree in Sustainable Tourism and ICT from the UOC (2021).
Since 2004, I have lived in Sant Joan de les Abadesses (Ripollès – Girona). I have been working as a technician in public administration for years. I started working as a local development agent (LDA) with a rural development project and have continued to expand my work experience always linked to rural development, economic promotion and local tourism in Ripollès. I have also participated as a local tourism technician in the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism of the region since 2016.
In recent years I have worked as a technician in tourism projects financed with European funds. I am currently the technical coordinator of a tourism sustainability plan financed by the European Union – Next Generation.
