The professional, who defines herself as a Catalan born in Bogotá, arrived in Barcelona in December 1986 with the goal of studying. Since then, her relationship with the Catalan capital has been a "permanent crush," in her own words. This connection with the city has been maintained over the years, consolidating her professional and personal career.
With a strong vocation to support people deprived of liberty, the jurist became involved with the Penitentiary Services of the Generalitat. Her work has focused on supporting prison officials, often "forgotten and discredited," from within the system to improve the situation of inmates.
“"Teaching is something I like and, above all, fascinates me, because you never learn as much as when you teach."
Currently, she is an associate professor at the University of Barcelona, where she teaches criminal enforcement and alternative penal measures. She also collaborates as a professor at the UOC (Open University of Catalonia) in the field of penitentiary law, highlighting her passion for transmitting knowledge.
Regarding the health of the Catalan language, the jurist is optimistic. She believes that the increase in population in Catalonia, from six million in the 80s to almost nine currently, offers more opportunities for the language's growth. This positive outlook reflects her confidence in the future of the language.
Her career includes a stint at the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, before founding Diplocorp. This consultancy, specializing in corporate diplomacy, seeks to improve the relational capacity of companies with governments, institutions, parliamentary groups, and social actors, adapting to the new parameters of the 21st century.
