Education:
I am a student of the bachelor’s degree in Philology at the University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU (2020-current). Among my hobbies and interests I would highlight art, sports, travelling and getting to know other cultures and languages. Since I was a kid, I have felt a great interest in different languages especially in the way we use them to communicate and structure our ideas. However, my curiosity about nature led me to start the degree in Biology, but time made me realize that my real interest was the study of languages and the way humans are able to communicate.
This year, thanks to the IKASIKER collaboration grant I am doing an internship in the group Gogo Elebiduna, La mente bilingüe directed by Itziar Laka and under the supervision of Miren Arantzeta.
