I am a PhD student of Linguistics in the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). In this very same university, I studied English Studies (2004-2008) and obtained the Certificate of Advanced Studies in the Depertment of Linguistics and Basque Studies (2010). At the moment, I am writing my dissertation under the supervision of Beatriz Fernandez (UPV/EHU) and Ricardo Etxepare (CNRS/IKER).

Research interests

Sintactic Theory, Comparative Syntax, Basque, micro-variation, case, ergativity, auxiliary selection, event structure.
