About

Vocational academic with a strong interest in the private sector. I am particularly drawn to industries aligned with my area of expertise, such as publishing, libraries, museums and archives, writing, translation, and educational institutions. A Hispanist, with a focus on 15th-century Castilian literature and its European reception, both in translation and in the original, especially "Celestina". Dilettante of Digital Humanities and Material Bibliography. Also active as a researcher in Metal Music Studies. I have extensive international experience as a researcher and lecturer, including leading and managing research projects. I have organized academic conferences and exhibitions, edited scholarly books and journals, and developed research tools such as digital editions and databases. I am fluent in four languages: Spanish, English, German, and French (spoken and written). My academic career has allowed me to develop strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills, as well as resource optimization, public speaking, crisis-solving, technological proficiency, and independence. Frequent relocations and institutional changes have strengthened my adaptability and flexibility, and provided insight into diverse professional environments. My editorial and journal management responsibilities have sharpened my attention to detail and communication skills, and I also have experience in the publishing world as a published author. Open to relocation, with a current preference for Germany, particularly the Münsterland region and surrounding areas. I am also open to offers from other European countries and selected regions within the Iberian Peninsula.
