Education

Journalist with a Master’s Degree in Public and Social Policies from Pompeu Fabra University, with additional training in Leadership and Social Innovation at ESADE.

Experience

I have worked as a journalist specialising in social issues and within cultural institutions. Since 2019, I have been leading the strategy against school segregation at Fundació Bofill. I monitor educational inequalities through data analysis and maintain an ongoing dialogue with local stakeholders to identify trends and scalable solutions. I am motivated by developing feasible public policy proposals and leading advocacy and mobilisation strategies that contribute to a fairer and more equitable society.

I believe that real innovation often emerges from the spaces closest to people: schools, municipalities, communities… Identifying, listening to and supporting these actors is essential to scaling up public policies that work.

Projects

Some of the projects I have been involved in at the Foundation include:

• Action Against School Segregation
• The Debate on State-Subsidised Private Schools
• Challenges for Education in Catalonia: The Role of School Place Planning in Tackling School Segregation: Challenges and Opportunities
• Vote for Education
• Opening Up Education
