I'm currently in my third year of an Honours BSc in Sciences at Amsterdam University College, a joint programme between the University of Amsterdam and VU Amsterdam. My focus sits at the intersection of finance and technology — the coursework spans mathematics, economics, computer science, and AI, and the further I get the more that overlap feels like where I actually want to be.

Before this I did my Bachillerato in A Coruña, Spain, with a science and technology focus. In between, I spent a year in the US on an exchange programme at Burnet High School. That year probably changed how I think more than anything since. Going somewhere completely new at sixteen and having to figure out a different system, a different language environment, different people, on your own.

Outside of studying I coach tennis and padel. I got my instructor license at sixteen and have been coaching in some form since then, right now at USC Tennis & Padel in Amsterdam, working with people from a lot of different countries, switching between English and Spanish depending on who I'm working with. Before that I coached at Real Club de Tenis in A Coruña and tutored younger students in maths, physics, chemistry and economics. I competed in tennis at a regional and national level in Spain growing up. I don't really separate this from the academic side. Both are basically about staying disciplined when something isn't going well yet.

I grew up speaking Spanish and Galician, English became fluent after the exchange year, and I can get by in Portuguese.

This summer I'm working as founding GTM at Rebolt.ai, an early-stage AI startup. Basically sales, but at a company this size that means a bit of everything: figuring out who to talk to, what actually gets someone to say yes, and how to do that without a playbook yet. It's a different kind of problem-solving than coursework and I think that's exactly why it's useful right now.
