Durante mi infancia y adolescencia, nunca percibí la ausencia de referentes femeninos. Cuando comencé la carrera, Arquitectura se ubicaba en el edificio Politécnico de la Universidad de Alcalá, donde se imparten las ingenierías, y allí sí nos llamaba la atención a las compañeras el hecho de que además de en nuestros estudios, había poquísimas “chicas”. Ésta es mi historia personal en relación con el día internacional de la mujer y la niña en la ciencia.

Not only I was not lacking in references, but my sister loved science, she helped me to study certain subjects and in fact, she graduated and she is professionally dedicated to it. In addition, at home, our father tried to pass on everything he knew, he took us to see the stars on summer nights, to museums of any kind, and always, always, he used to explain curious things to us.

In the wide range of things I liked, I would have loved to be an astronaut. One of my options was to study Physics and I was always curious about whether you can predict the movement of a balloon or a soap bubble... In my Architecture degree, I am proud to have two honours in Building Structures, and I am also proud of my friends who were great at understanding and explaining mathematics to me.

In my family we are many girls, cousins, and all of the same age range. I am the only one with "artistic" inclinations, all the others have opted for Science and Technology and all of them are professionally dedicated to it.
