Although I am a philologist by trade, writing is my real passion. I like describing my feelings through poetry. In any language, but mainly in Basque. In my professional career, I have taught Basque language and literature at the University of Masarykova, Brno (Czech Republic), and worked as a translator in several companies. I got a degree in Basque Philology in 2002, and a Masters Degree in Language, Information and Communication in 2004; both at the University of the Basque Country. I completed a Postgraduate Writing Course at UNED (Open University) Bergara in 2006–2008.

I have taken part in the 2001–2024 editions of Hatsaren poesia collection.

- In 2003, I translated Santiago Gamboa's crime novel Galtzea metodo kontua da/ Perder es cuestión de método (Losing is a Matter of Method).

- In 2012, Maiatz published my first book of poetry in November 2012: Chansons d'amour ilargi beterik gabeko gauak (Love songs moonless nights)."

- In 2018, Muxuak, collection of poems. Zortziko, 2018.

- In 2019, Euskal poeta bat Mazedonian/ A basque poet in Macedonia. 2019. Erein.
