I am an environmental social scientist with a background in critical organization studies. I currently work at the University of Helsinki, Ruralia Institute on a research project funded by the Research Council of Finland.

My research focuses on community food economies, landscape relations, peasant livelihoods and invisible work in diversified, regenerative and smallholding farming. I am intrigued by re/searching the ways in which people re-connect their livelihoods with the needs of lands and other living beings.

As a scholar deeply immersed in ethnographic practice, I am interested in multi-sensory research methods and processes of knowledge production. Questions of representation puzzle me as much as the living web of life that the scientific inquiries try to capture. I am on a journey of unlearning the Western cosmology, and relearning to connect to the living world around me.

I am a founding member of the Untame research collective that brings together engaged scholars, thinkers and doers to study and advance paradigm shifts towards more appreciative and reciprocal more-than-human relations.

Beyond scholar-activism I am also a mother for two children, and a beginning forest gardener on a piece of land in South-Western Finland that my family has started to inhabit.
