Bio

I'm a medical student in Valencia, Spain. I'm 22. Co-secretary of EMAS (a volunteering society of the University of Valencia) and organizer of TEDxUValència

I'm passionate about

The idea of sharing knowledge and listening to what other people have to say. I love medicine and science. I love how art represents things and the impact that it has. And I'm also passionate about the idea of erasing racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia etc. so we can live in a safer and more tolerant society.

Areas of expertise

Biology, Medicine, Science

The TED story

The summer I finished high school I spent 3 weeks in a lab here in Valencia (the lab's name is 'Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe'). I made some friends there and two of them were into TED. Little by little I spent more time watching TED Talks and TED-Eds until I heard from TED circles, and I became a host.
