She got a degree in Foreign Languages at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she also earnt her Ph.D. in Basque Studies, with emphasis in Language and Literature, in 1996. Even though her major was in French, and then Spanish, she was intrigued by Eloy Placer, her professor of Spanish Literature, speaking Basque in the hallways. She started learning the language with Jon Bilbao and continued with Gorka Aulestia. During her career at the CBS, she taught several classes, mainly Basque language and Basque literature. She also created textbooks and distance courses for learning Basque. Her research interests also included genre fiction in Basque literature, the new women writers and Basque women who write in Spanish.
