Before FabLabs….

I'm a Mechanical Engineer and actually the Manager of FabLab León (TMA Foundation)
My professional career happened for 15 years in TELICE, a company of Railway Technology where I developed the technical training of the workers and documentation of work processes.

With FabLabs…

There are tons of people saying: “The Fablab movement completely changed my life” and, of course, it happened to me.

In 2012 I became the manager of FabLab León, belonging to Telice's Foundation, as part of its CSR policy.
I did the FabAcademy Program in 2012, and became a very beginner instructor in 2013, always at FabLab León.
Here we have several educational programs for children, youth and adults. The “Jóvenes Makers” with the objective of introducing the Digital Fabrication and the maker concept in their day to day, so that they look for solution to daily problems and build their portfolio.
With the aim of bringing technology to women and girls, we started the “Poderosas” program at the end of 2013, focused on the application of the Digital Fabrication and the movement maker in popular activities among the female and girls.
