About
I am currently a HK PhD Fellow at the Department of Media and Communication City University of Hong Kong. More broadly, I am a former journalist, a scholar in training and a coding aficionado. I have taught undergraduate courses, online and offline, at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and City University of Hong Kong. In my dissertation I take a multidisciplinary approach (international relations, media and area studies) to study Chinese international broadcasting in Africa.
Four (random) facts about me
- I can communicate in 7 languages. They are, in order of proficiency, Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. If I ever add an eight to the list, it is likely to be Indonesian.
- I am a certified indoor cycling (some might call it spinning) instructor by both Schwinm (Bronze Level) and ANEF, the Spanish Association of Physical Education (Level 2).
- I was at some point in a distant past a qualified (American) football umpire, although that career path was short-lived.
- I enjoy travelling, cooking and hiking. I am terrible at singing and an even worse at sports.
Personal goals
A recap on how I am progressing with some of my current professional and life goals. Not necessarily accurate, but I am trying hard.
