She is a logistics engineer at ULMA Handling Systems and you can be sure that the rigorous planning required to automate warehouses contributes to her good time management because, in addition to complying with her professional commitments, she has a great passion in which she spares on effort: handball. Nerea plays for Aiala Zarautz, a team that has just gained promotion to the premier division of women's handball after 32 years in the lower leagues thanks, among other things, to the 65 goals she has scored this season, which make this engineer the third highest goal scorer in her all-star team.
