Jorge Lucas Pérez holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology (2018) and a bachelor’s degree in English Philology (2012) from the University of Málaga (UMA), as well as a University master’s degree in translation for the publishing industry (2014), a University master’s degree in online senior management from the Rey Juan Carlos University (2021), and a University master’s degree in general health psychology from the UMA (MPGS) (2026). Jorge has more than five years of experience as an interim substitute lecturer in the Department of French Translation and Interpreting at the UMA (2020–2026). He has also worked as a French, English and Spanish teacher and tutor at various institutions, and as a literary translator for publishing houses such as Marcial Pons and Babelcube. His professional career combines teaching, research and applied psychology. During his bachelor’s degree in psychology, he completed curricular placements at the Cognitive Neurology and Aphasia Unit (UNCA) of the Centre for Medical and Health Research (CIMES). He subsequently completed his internship as a therapist at the University Teaching and Care Psychology Unit (UDA-P), providing support to the university community, and completed the rest of his internship for the MPGS at the Cudeca Foundation (2024–2025). Since 2016, he has collaborated as a volunteer psychologist with Proyecto Hombre Málaga. He is currently pursuing his doctoral thesis, working as a freelance French teacher, and working as a psychology trainer and science communicator. His teaching activities include designing and delivering online training on impostor syndrome at FGUMA (2023–2026), as well as delivering a course on career and vocational guidance on Udemy (since 2025). Language constitutes a central thread running through his education, research and professional activity: “Words build communicative bridges, provide comfort and help structure the thinking of people who are experiencing some kind of difficulty.” His interdisciplinary profile combines translation, linguistics, teaching, research and psychology, with a particular focus on the relationship between language, cognition, communication and well-being.
