I am a third-grade student of the Basque Studies degree at UPV/EHU (2019-currently).  I have always shown interest in two things: music and languages and I have studied both since I was little. I have shown great interest in Basque since I was in school and I have always wanted to know more about that language. That is why I decided to study this degree.

As far as I can, I have read and researched on my own about human anatomy and biology. That’s why, when I discovered these voluntary internships, I decided to sing up so I could learn more about the brain and the language processing. This course, thanks to the Ikasiker [IkasC_2021_1_0195] Research Fellowship I work with the research group La Mente Bilingüe/Gogo Elebiduna directed by Itziar Laka. Under the direction of Kepa Erdozia, I have the opportunity to investigate the relationship between lexical and syntactic co-activation in second language learning.

Among my hobbies I would highlight traveling and being able to know their culture: knowing new languages, music, and so on. Learn everything I can.
