About Me:

I'm 21 years old and I love technology, politics, art and science. I'm a writer, photographer, graphic designer, technologist and activist. I'm a dual citizen of the USA and Finland and a native speaker of both English and Finnish. For about eight months of each year I live in the Boston area of the USA, and for about four months in southern Finland, where I do the majority of my photography. It is during my time in the Finnish countryside over the summer and winter vacations that I feel the most at home, exploring and experiencing the nature, people and stories which can only be found there. I'm currently attending Clark University, about 100 kilometers west of Boston, USA, as an undergraduate studying fine art with a concentration in graphic design. I plan on moving to Finland permanently upon completing my undergraduate degree in the USA.
