I am substitute teacher at the Education and Sport Faculty (UPV/EHU). PhD in Linguistics, under the supervision of Prof. Itziar Laka, at the Department of Linguistics and Basque Studies and The Bilingual Mind research group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). I studied Basque Philology at the University of Deusto and Master in Linguistics at the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU). I was Visiting Scholar at Harvard University during the Fall Semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. My research focuses on language processing of languages with different basic word order (especially in Spanish and Basque), based on corpus studies.
