Curriculum Vitae
WORK
Freelance writer and journalist
2014 – present moment
Throughout the years I’ve written stories for various publications, and produced content for different communications purposes. I write about a wide range of topics, but always seek to find a captivating point of view that often mixes individual depth with wider social dimensions. In addition to writing, editing and translating I also come up with concepts, edit people’s drafts, give advice, work with audio/visual projects and co-write with others.
Scriptwriter and producer, Artlab Productions
2020 – 2022
While working for the Helsinki based audio production company and recording studio Artlab, I had multiple roles in different productions. I worked with conceptual design, writing, dramatising, directing and producing in auditive projects such as podcasts, courses, books and works that fall somewhere in between those categories.
Editor and producer, Tiedemedia Uutistamo
2016 – 2018
Founded by a group of researchers and completed by an editor (myself), Uutistamo was a science project with an aim of popularising research. We sought after exciting, often emerging voices in Finland’s academic world, asked them to write about topics close to their heart and research, and helped them to turn their pieces into engaging articles that speak to people outside universities too.
Communications assistant, The Finnish Institute in London
2015
Writing in English and Finnish, often side by side, I produced content for the Institute’s digital channels and participated in communications work of various exhibitions, concerts, performances and other events. As the Finnish institute in the UK and Ireland focuses on both art and societal questions, I also participated in analysing important decision-making processes, such as elections, through writing.
Volunteer, ACUDE Argentina
2014
In 2014, I received a grant from CIMO (Centre for International Mobility) and got to do volunteer work for three months in Córdoba, Argentina. Mostly through translating and fundraising, I participated in the everyday actions of the small but impactful Argentine NGO that shares knowledge about the importance of nature through teaching school children how to take care of their neighbourhood trees.
Head of Communications, Hello World Open
2014
First and so far unique in its kind, the coding league was organised by creative technology company Reaktor, in collaboration with gaming studio Supercell. Eventually 4000 coders from 90 countries participated in the virtual car race, and after preliminary and semifinal rounds online, finalists from Brazil, Poland and Finland took the stage of Cable Factory Helsinki. During my time working with the coding world championships, I produced content across different platforms, managed press relations as well as communications between competitors and organisers.
Communications assistant, World Design Capital Helsinki
2012
In 2012 Helsinki was the World Design Capital together with Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti. With its aim of improving cities and embedding design in everyday life, the initiative brought hundreds of events and projects under the same umbrella, and for everyone to explore. During my internship, I produced content in English and Finnish, and participated in organising international press visits.
Editor in chief, Groteski
2012
Our dear Groteski, magazine of communications students of University of Helsinki, taught me almost everything about what it takes to create a publication from scratch to finish. During our year as editors, we made four issues, each with a specific theme, theme colour and collection of writing, illustrations and photographs by aspiring storytellers.
