I graduated in Basque Studies in the UPV/EHU university (2017-2021) and I completed my studies with a masters in Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics at the same university. Back in high school, I became fond of syntax exercises and ever since my interest in language has nothing but grown, which is mainly why I got into linguistics. Apart from languages and their speakers, I have various interests like travelling and science popularization. In 2021, through an Ikasiker Fellowship of Research to collaborate with The Bilingual Mind research group, I started working on adverbs under the mentorship of professor Beatriz Fernández. I have carried out my Master's Dissertation on the topic of adverbial modifiers and particularly, Basque manner-adverbials formed through the suffix -ki, with Beatriz Fernández and Urtzi Etxeberria (CNRS-IKER) as my supervisors. I intend to follow this path thorughout my PhD.
