I obtained an MA degree in editorial translation from English and Spanish. At university, I’ve come to know and appreciate English and American postmodern literature and contemporary Latin American classics and I’ve rediscovered my passion for writing. I adore music, in particular alternative rock music, and I often go to my favourite artists’ concerts. I like cooking, trying exotic dishes, discovering new cities and cultures, taking part in amateur poker tournaments and going out with my friends.
