Professionally
I am a multilingual professional with a unique blend of legal, financial, and business expertise. My career journey began with a doctorate in law, which led me to work as a trainee solicitor at a law firm. In my role, I represented clients in various civil, financial, and criminal cases, both in and out of court. I also conducted legal research and prepared necessary documents, honing my attention to detail and analytical skills.
While I enjoyed working with clients, I felt drawn to the financial side of the field. This interest inspired me to pursue a Master's degree in Economics while simultaneously managing our family's winery. My passion for the financial world further drove me to obtain a Level IV Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Institute of Securities and Investments (CISI).
While I was still based in Spain and sought a company that aligned with my values as a financial advisor. In 2022, I found my professional home in The Netherlands with Black Swan Capital Europe. The company's culture, values, and business philosophy resonated with me, so I began my career here as an Independent Financial Advisor
I am committed to growing professionally within the company, continuously expanding my knowledge and skills to better serve our clients.
Personally
When I'm not immersed in the world of work, you'll likely find me strategizing my next move in an intense board game session. I have a deep love for games that challenge me mentally and allow me to flex my tactical thinking.
My trusty sidekick in life is my energetic border collie, who keeps me active and on my toes. Together, we embark on long walks, exploring the great outdoors. Regular training is also a key part of our routine - it keeps us both sharp! Growing up in the countryside instilled a deep appreciation for nature in me from an early age. I take every chance I can get to engage in outdoor activities and soak up the natural world.
Traveling is another passion that shapes my life. I relish opportunities to immerse myself in new cultures, try out a different gastronomy, meet people from all walks of life, and broaden my global perspective. Each journey teaches me something new about the world and myself.
Whether I'm engaging my mind with strategic games, bonding with my loyal pup, finding solace in nature, or seeking new adventures through travel, I approach life with curiosity and a hunger for growth. These diverse interests keep me balanced, inspired, and always eager to take on new challenges.
