Biography[edit]

Born on 13 September 1982 in Madrid.[1][2] Her father, Fernando Serra, is a former leftist turned into a liberal and writer for Libertad Digital.[3][4] She graduated in Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).[5] She worked as highschool philosophy teacher for six years.[6] She entered politics with the creation of Podemos.[5]

She ran as candidate of the Podemos list for the 2015 Madrilenian regional election, and became a member of the 10th term of the regional legislature. Her younger sister, Isabel, also became a member of the Assembly in the Podemos parliamentary group.[7]

After the resignation of Lorena Ruiz-Huerta as Spokeswoman of the Podemos parliamentary group in the Assembly, Serra was elected within the members of the parliamentary group to replace Ruiz-Huerta.[8]
