A teacher by vocation and training, my entire professional life has been dedicated to education in Andalusia, Spain, both in primary and secondary education. I also spent 5 years abroad (Cardiff, Wales) working as a Spanish teacher in schools and as an activities and leisure instructor at a center for young people with special educational needs. I currently work as a primary school teacher for the Ministry of Education while completing my PhD at the University of Córdoba. I collaborate with the Department of Psychology at the University of Córdoba, researching the construct of social exclusion and designing measurement instruments for this phenomenon, which is under-researched in adolescent populations. The aim is to facilitate early detection and prevention. The research initiative stems primarily from my teaching and educational work, where I aim to study and analyze the behaviors and interpersonal relationships that children establish with their peers. My objective is to find solutions (detection programs, prevention strategies, emotional intelligence techniques, self-esteem enhancement, etc.) to potential issues of coexistence that may arise in daily interactions. I pursue this with the goal of advancing a Culture of Peace and promoting harmonious coexistence, which I consider vital in this intercultural and globalized world in which we live.
