Biography:
I was born on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea in Valencia, Spain, and I love my work. I enjoy flowers and the world that surrounds them. I am a restless person who likes to be up to date with everything related to the world of floral design. Likewise, I love teaching and that my classes are very dynamic. I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures and ways of living.
I am very Mediterranean and love gathering with family and friends around a good meal, especially paella (as a good Valencian). There are few things as wonderful as sharing life and opinions around a table.
I try to learn as much as possible about as many flowers as possible, including new varieties in the market, colors, where flowers are grown, everything. One of my favorite flowers is the Red Charm Peony. I think its shape and color are very romantic. It matches my personality well.
