An expert in functional (digital) daily life

My career

I have been among the first to develop measures to increase digital inclusion in the daily lives of vulnerable people and people with special needs. My professional history has revolved around issues of rehabilitation,  digital inclusion and functional everyday life. 

I have worked as a senior specialist in The Finnish Digital and Population Data Services Agency, as a digital inclusion and client support services developer. I'v worked as a project manager in NGOs, as a specialist in housing support services and in my early days as an occupational therapist in the emergency department of the City of Helsinki acute hospital. 

Recently I worked as a business development expert at Pirkanmaan Setlementtipalvelut Oy. I also consult for a tech-company, developing digital rehabilitation solutions and technologies.

From 2025 I work as a team manager in the City of Helsinki, Urban Environment Division.

Education

My educational background is perhaps unusual for the "digital sector". I am a Master of Health Care - Occupational Therapist, with a degree in Social and Health Services and Business Management. In my Master's thesis, I dived into the strategic and day-to-day management of digitalisation in health and social care organisations.

In addition, I have further studies in communication and speech communication. I have grown my knowledge in current topics such as artificial intelligence, game design, robotics in health care, service design methods, co-creation, facilitation and social science. I am also a certified (IPMA) project manager.

Studying, learning and curiosity are a constant state of being for me. What you don't know yet, you can learn quickly. That is why I am interested in collaborating and experimenting with a wide range of professions and skills.
