[Biography, english version]

My professional career has always been related to the field of education, both from a theoretical and practical perspective. Training as a Teacher, Pedagogue and graduate in Fine Arts has meant that during my professional activity I worked in the Primary and Secondary educational stages and also as a university professor. I have been working as a teacher for 35 years and I am a person committed to the world of education.

I work on issues of specific Didactics of the Arts and also from Didactics and School Organization, which has provided me with a pedagogical culture on issues of transdisciplinarity in education. I participate in a research group at the University of Valencia (Cultural Pedagogies - CREARI) which allows me to continue complementing my training and researching educational topics. I also coordinate the TRANS-PR Educational Innovation group - Transdisciplinarity and reflective thinking in teacher training.

My great future challenge is to continue researching and contributing scientific knowledge to Education, contributing to the preparation of professional teaching profiles for a future full of uncertainties.

In the field of publications I would highlight: Publication of book chapters in Springer, Graó Octaedro, Dykinson, Síntesis, UV Publications, ... Publications in scientific journals such as Publicaciones, Revista Complutense de Educación, Educatio Sciencies, Educar, Opción, Materia Prima, EARI,…. Coordinator of the books New coordinates for training and learning and Transdisciplinarity and reflective and creative thinking through the objectives of sustainable development at the university, both in the Graó publishing house. And finally the publication of the book Education through Art. Transdisciplinarity, diversity and reflective thinking at the Graó publishing house.
