Soy Mónica, una auténtica #datalover que disfruta aprendiendo, compartiendo y, sobre todo, sacándole partido a los datos. Me encanta convertir números en historias que no solo hablen, ¡sino que griten! Mi día a día gira en torno a Power BI y Microsoft Fabric, en esa magia que tiene la analítica inteligente. ¿Mi superpoder? Hacer que hasta el modelo más técnico sea algo divertido.

Microsoft MVP en Data Platform y co-organizadora de Women in Fabric y del Fabric User Group ESP, además de participar en la organización de otros eventos de comunidad como los Power BI Days 2025.

También me gusta trastear con inteligencia artificial, Python, SQL, Machine Learning y PySpark, porque al final, ¿quién puede resistirse a un buen reto técnico?

Cuando no estoy entre datos, modelos y reuniones proponiendo ideas locas, me encontrarás planificando el próximo viaje, con un plato bien picante delante o haciendo fotos como una obsesa. Ah, y contando chistes malos, porque alguien tiene que romper el hielo, ¿no?

Compartir conocimientos y conectar con comunidades de datos es lo que realmente me llena. Los datos y la tecnología no solo nos hacen trabajar mejor, también pueden cambiar cómo vivimos y entendemos el mundo.
