I have a special interest in teaching, and I am a tutor for residents in Otorhinolaryngology training.

I graduated as an MD at Universidad Francisco Marroquín and completed my specialization via MIR in Otorhinolaryngology at the Hospital Universitario Vall d'Hebron (2010-2014).

Since 2016 I joined the Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Service at Vall d'Hebron.

Within the service I'm specialized in head and neck surgery and oncology. I have been part of the robotic head and neck surgery team since its formation and I'm certified as a robotic surgeon.


In addition, I'm a referent doctor for the Adult Tracheostomy Patient Care Unit and the patient safety referent for ENT.

Associate professor of otorhinolaryngology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona for the degrees of Medicine and Speech Therapist.

I participate in biomedical research with cancer stem cells at the Vall Hebron Research Institute.
