Curriculum Vitae

Welcome to my webpage. Here you can find information about my project and about myself.     

Born in Barcelona, I studied Arabic Language and Culture at the University of Amsterdam and in 2009 I obtained my BA Degree (cum laude).  
In 2010 I completed my MA Arabic Language and Culture (cum laude) with a thesis on al-Shayzarī's twelve-century treatise on love entitled Rawḍat al-qulūb wa-nuzhat al-muḥibb wa-l-maḥbūb [The green garden of the hearts and the pleasure of the lover and the beloved] under the supervision of Dr. A.Schippers.     
I also studied Classical Guitar at the Conservatory Liceu in Barcelona and from 2002 at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where I received my BA Degree in 2006.            
In 2008 I spent several months at the Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC) and in 2010 I collaborated as editorial intern at the Poetry International Festival Rotterdam. From 2003 until 2012 I have been guitar teacher at Music School Fluxus and from 2011until 2012 I taught Spanish at the University for Applied Sciences (TIO).


I am interested in the relationships between Muslims, Jews and Christians in the Iberian Peninsula, the attitudes towards religious minorities during the Middle Ages and specially towards the mudejars, their manuscripts written in Arabic and in aljamiado (Spanish in Arabic characters) and within the arts, I'm particularly attracted to poetry and music.
