Born in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, in 1985.

I studied acting at La Madrilera and at Centro de Investigación Teatral La Manada, and earned a Computer Science and Egineering degree from Carlos III University of Madrid.
I complemented my traning in the performing arts with several courses: Theatre Directing under Ángel Ojea, Fencing and Stage Combat under Mon Ceballos, Performing Verse Drama under Carlos Silveira, Creating Theatre under Gon Ramos, Contemporary Comedy contemporánea under Luis Sorolla, the contemporary British drama workshop Read/Play/Meet/Repeat, taught by Luis Sorolla, Carlos Tuñón and Nacho Aldeguer; Contempory Dance under Deisy Mesías, and singing lessons, under Eider Esnaola, and later under Azucena Ribas.

As an actor I have worked on several theatre plays such as Tres Sombreros de Copa, directed by José Luis Arellano for Teatro de la Zarzuela; The Bodyguard, produced by Stage Entertainment and performed at the Teatro Coliseum; The Frontline by Ché Walker, directed by Carlos Silveira and premiered at the Teatros Luchana; and Ostras y Caracoles, written and directed by Juan Alberto de Burgos, performed at Microteatro por Dinero.
I have also worked on screen projects such as the feature film Black Beach by Esteban Crespo, and Adú by Salvador Calvo; and on several short films such as No Podrás Volver Nunca by Mónica Mateo and Aquel No Era Yo by Esteban Crespo.

My work as a director includes the short film Gozando and the micro-theatre play Gacelas.
