WORK EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM

Gema travels everyday to Puebla de la Calzada, a town where she has become part of the community since 2010. She has been working as e-facilitator for 12 years. Her engagement and her ability to empathise with people have given her an amazing feedback, not only from users, but also from the rest of the team, that have nominated her as the best candidate as e-facilitator.

Media literacy, confidence, equal opportunities and inclusion are the base of Gema’s everyday activities. She
always makes an extra effort to reach those users with lack of digital skills, showing them the best way to become part of the digital world with confidence and responsibility.

Gema has been one of the most active members of the team that worked on Slack for the design of the new
actions in the frame of the Digital Social Lab. Her contributions are really valuable since she always puts herself in the shoes of users.
