She holds a Master’s degree in the Management of Educational Centres and since 2008, the year Colegio Internacional Aravaca was set up, she has been the Principal.<br /> At Colegio Internacional Aravaca she discovered her passion for teaching entrepreneurship skills, including a compulsory entrepreneurship curriculum for students from 10 years of age, which she has been a teacher of for the last five years. The work undertaken by her students has been recognised and awarded at National level, which she is very proud of. Through this experience it led her to be a speaker at various conferences on the topic of ‘Learning entrepreneurship at school’. Marta believes it is incredible to see what students are capable of when you give them freedom and confidence.<br /> Marta is a mother of a large family.
