“With more than 15 years in IHCantabria, the balance of my career is very positive. This is due, to the fact that working in the field of environmental protection and monitoring is particularly satisfying for me, as I consider it to be one of the great priorities and challenges of today's society.
In addition, the interdisciplinary nature that is fostered within IHCantabria offers the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from different areas. This environment favors not only the acquisition of new knowledge and professional growth, but also an atmosphere of good fellowship, mutual support and collaboration.
Undoubtedly, it is the human value existing in IHCantabria, reflected both in the professionalism and the quality of relationships between colleagues, the real engine of the success of the projects we develop.”

“During my 12 years at IHCantabria I have had the opportunity to grow professionally and personally in an exceptional environment. What I value most is the human team. Working with people who motivate me every day and who are a constant reference is undoubtedly a good thing nowadays. In these years I have always found colleagues to learn from, colleagues who have driven my development and who have helped me to go one step further.
Moreover, being part of this institution means contributing to something with purpose. With our work we seek to generate a real impact, translating knowledge into applied solutions that respond to specific challenges of our society.
For all these reasons, IHCantabria is not only a place to develop a professional career, but also a place to grow, learn and feel that what you do has value.”

“After more than 15 years at IHCantabria, each new challenge continues to be motivating. I have had the opportunity to participate and lead diverse projects, always working with talented multidisciplinary teams. For me, this multidisciplinarity is not only essential, but one of IHCantabria's strengths. I feel especially fortunate to be able to transfer the technical and scientific work to society, contributing to the development of policies, strategies and plans, as well as their implementation at different levels, from the institutional level to working directly with local communities and citizens. Collaborating with the final users and beneficiaries of projects and research, and transforming knowledge into useful and applicable solutions, is, without a doubt, what I value and enjoy most about my work.
All this is possible thanks to an environment of excellent and committed professionals, who make IHCantabria a space of continuous evolution and with a vocation of service to science and society. I am proud to be part of this team.”
