I have been part of Ariwake, S. Coop since 2020. Since 2021 I contribute with my energy in the Technical Secretary of The State Working Group for Cooperative Housing in assignment of use in REAS (Red de Redes). Also in the coordination group of Koobizitza.org, a network of projects in La Rioja, Navarra and Euskadi. I am also partner of Ametxe, Koop. Elk.

Gordexola (Bizkaia).I see myself as a restless and creative person, constantly learning, adapting and reviewing. Engaged in projects and initiatives to transform social citizens, from education to collaborative housing, including the learning of collective processes and personal growth.
