My Story
I was born and raised in the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. I grew up with a huge love for sports and competing. Growing up in an island made me have a connection with the ocean since and early age. Travelling is one of my favorite hobbies and I’m very grateful that I had the opportunity to do it so often.
Life as a Surfer
I learned how to surf when I was 8 years old when I first went to the US on vacation with my parents, and once I got back to the island I joined a surf school and I’ve never stopped surfing since. I started competing in 2016, since then I’ve participated in regional, national, college and QS level competitions.
Studies
I attended Canterbury School Las Palmas from age 3 to 18, a British school in the city where I grew up. Most of my classes where taught in English and it’s where I got my fluency from. After high school I moved to California to study at University of San Diego, where I’m currently a junior majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing and Communication Studies.
