  • Undergraduate degree in Speech Therapy by the University of Málaga.
  • Master’s Degree in Early childhood care by the Complutense University of Madrid (currently studying.)

Born and raised in Málaga. At the age of 8 she followed her parents who engaged a professional project in the UK,  where she attended a British school in Golborne, Lancashire. This relationship with the UK was maintained over time. Every year during the month of July she and her brother would attend school with their British classmates.

Thanks to this submersion in British culture and language she is fully bilingual. At the age of 12 she was already volunteering to help the teachers with the younger grades. From the age of 15 she would teach Spanish in British secondary schools during the summer.

It has always been clear to her that children learn through play, hence the importance of making the sessions fun and stimulating for them. Mariló has been working with children all her life and her first challenge as a speech therapist was to support a child within the Autistic Spectrum, with whom she has been working for almost two years, helping him with pronunciation and reading and writing difficulties and improving the way he expresses and communicates his thoughts and opinions to others.

Her interest in helping the hearing impaired has led her to learn sign language. She currently has an A2 level and plans to continue studying.

During her internship at Asociación Arrabal A.ID., which offers services to low-income individuals and families, she worked with children with developmental delays, hearing impairment, learning difficulties and reading and writing delays, among others.

For her Final Degree Project, she reviewed the bottle and cup feeding methods for premature babies, studying the evidence on the advantages and disadvantages of each one (swallowing is also a field of speech therapy).

Currently, she is enhancing her training by taking a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Care offered by the Complutense University of Madrid, where she will improve her techniques to help the little ones in the development of language, even before they speak their first words.
