Meet our Management

With over 25 years of multidisciplinary experience in childhood, disability, and child psychiatry, I have progressed into the management of institutions and large educational teams. I also have experience in coaching and leadership training. My interest in human development allows me to connect personal and social development, as well as theoretical and practical approaches.

I do not exist as an autonomous and independent entity separate from my environment; I owe my life and survival to an infinity of other human beings.
