I am a member of the Spanish Political Science and Public Administration Association (AECPA), as well as member of the Digital Government Society (DGS), serving as a part of DGS communication committee from 2020 to 2024.

Between May 2014 and May 2019, I was part of the NovaGob team, the largest Spanish-speaking public innovation digital community/social media platform in Spain and Latin America, which was a spin-off of UAM until June 2019. I was coordinator of the NovaGob Excellence Awards between 2016 and 2018. Moreover, I participated in the organization of the second, third and fourth edition of the NovaGob Public Innovation Conference. Finally, I was a Researcher at the NovaGob Lab.

In my spare time, I enjoy tinkering with technology. I believe in free (libre) software, and I collaborate with GNOME, a desktop environment for GNU/Linux. I love hiking as well as kayaking. I love horror movies (although I confess that I never sleep afterwards) and science fiction. I am also a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino movies. I really like to travel and visit new places. I enjoy good food, especially if it is accompanied by good conversation.
