Nací en 1986 en Santander, Cantabria.
Crecí un pueblo mediano, Muriedas, demasiado cerca y a la vez demasiado lejos de Santander, ciudad que sí que estaba demasiado lejos de todo lo que me gustaba. Pero lo llevé como pude hasta que tuve la oportunidad de marcharme a Oviedo, en Asturias, a estudiar Historia del Arte.
En Oviedo, además de estudiar la carrera, conocer a algunas de mis mejores amigas e ir a un montón de conciertos, empecé a hacer fanzines. En ese momento creé mi editorial Bombas para Desayunar.
Cuando acabé la carrera, opté por hacer el Máster de Formación del Profesorado y pude comprobar que la docencia no está del todo mal.
