About

Driven by curiosity.

She admits she never dreamed of being a doctor. As a child she wanted to be a vet, a fashion designer or to work in advertising, and to this day too many fields fascinate her to choose just one. Perhaps that is why her path is not a straight line: from Clinical Pathology to the laboratory, from healthcare management to Aesthetic Medicine, by way of digital marketing. Each field ended up adding to the one before.

What drives her is curiosity, which keeps her training continuously, from Madrid to Stockholm, from London to Porto. Aesthetic Medicine turned out to be the place where all those lives meet: science and clinical rigour, an aesthetic eye, management, communication and caring for people.

At FACELAB, where she is part of the clinical direction and the management team, she wants the clinic to be a place of health and self-esteem, where people reconnect with themselves, with a multidisciplinary team committed to offering the best health solutions. The goal is for everyone who walks in to leave feeling better, not just looking better.

“If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.”

— Oscar Wilde
