Thanks to the fact that my Mallorcan mother came to Argentina when she was very young, I was born here in Buenos Aires, and I grew up between the countryside and the city. I am a Veterinary Doctor and Social Psychologist. I currently practice veterinary medicine, producing medicines for animals. Social psychology has helped me connect with the owners of my patients and with the world.

In the year 2000 I started studying photography, passionate and focused on anthropology and nature. I had the opportunity to travel a lot in my country and in many countries in the world in America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe.

I consider myself a traveling photographer in search of cultures that still preserve their traditions and have been little influenced by our western ways. These cultures are threatened by the rapid spread of globalization.
I have learned a lot from them, I like to show their customs, tell their joys and sorrows that, in all cases, are similar to ours. In that search, I have also experienced injustice or the pain of impotence, but in all circumstances, I have tried to find beauty.

The moment in which I interact with people from other latitudes, feeling that we can communicate and respect each other, is magical. I always had great experiences because the simplest people open their homes and offer themselves without qualms. With that aspect of photography I am deeply grateful.

I met Joan Riera in 2012. I received in my mail, before the end of 2011, a message that said: "Would you like to spend Christmas and New Year in Cameroon?” At that moment I couldn't believe what I was reading, that message triggered a lot of emotions in me. I had already been to Africa in previous years, but the proposal was extremely compelling. I responded to the message and, although we didn't make the trip that December, my relationship with him began at that moment. With Last Places, my husband traveled through South Sudan, Angola, Namibia, Mali, Benin, Burkina Faso, South India, Indonesia and Papua. Thanks to Joan's experience, I have been able to meet and live with the Koma, the Mbororo, the Baka pygmies, the Didingas, the Jiyes, the Mundaris, the Surmas, the Himbas, the Plain Muila, etc.

All the trips we have made with Last Places have been strong, very enriching, unique, unrepeatable experiences. Our dear friend Joan Riera continues to recommend places for adventure and discovery. He has accompanied us and has taken care of us. I usually travel with my husband Jorge, who also has great concerns about plants. Last Places organizes tailor-made trips for us to be able to enjoy our passions.
