She holds a double master’s degree in People Management and Organizational Development from Aalto University and International Business from the University of South Carolina. She has gained professional experience through internships in both public and private organizations in Finland and has conducted research on language, inclusion, and the employee experiences of non-Finnish speakers in Finnish organizations.
