Mariana Lombardo
I hold a degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the National University of Rosario in Argentina.
I arrived in Madrid at the end of 2003 and began a Master’s degree in Language Disorders at the Complutense University of Madrid the following year.
I fell in love with the city and its people, and I have lived here ever since (with some work experience abroad).
Since my second year of university, I have worked with children with neurodevelopmental disorders, which has allowed me to grow, learn, and develop a profound interest in the human brain and its potential in relation to each individual and their circumstances.
I have worked in both clinical and academic settings, which has given me a comprehensive perspective.
I work in both Spanish and English, and I have researched bilingualism at different developmental stages and in various situations.
I thoroughly enjoy my profession and teamwork.
