Director of Microcredentials.
CEU Cardenal Herrera University
I hold a Bachelor's and a Ph.D. in Psychology, with a specialization in Organizational Psychology. I continue to educate myself because the need for upskilling and reskilling affects us all. I have earned a Certification as a EuroPsy Specialist in Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP) -the highest European standard-, I have been accredited under ISO 10667 and I was selected as a CEU facilitator within the framework of the CEU-CCL (Center for Creative Leadership) agreement.
I was an entrepreneur and later I joined a communication consulting firm. Simultaneously, I started my academic career as a university lecturer at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University (CEU UCH), part of the largest private education Foundation in Spain. At CEU UCH, I gradually took on management responsibilities and from November 2011 to June 2023, I served as Vice-Rector for Students and University Life.
As Vice-Rector, my purpose was to ensure that students have a rich university experience, learn in a safe environment and acquire a highlighting profile for the competitive job market.
That´s why one of my most innovative projects was the student competency certification: We began in 2012-2013 by defining our own Soft Skills model; in 2015, we started certifying the various competencies that an undergraduate student at CEU acquires; in 2019, the model was transformed and accelerated as we incorporated the concept of microcredentialing and began using Open Badges.
We now have a Microcredential Ecosystem that is audited by our QA System, and we use the most advanced technology: Open Badges V3.0.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, in partnership with PwC Spain, we developed Work Academy, a pioneering project for professional learning through on-the-job training accredited by microcredentials and postgraduate degrees.
My current position at the University is Director of Microcredentials, which represents the consolidation and growth of our cutting edge project.
