Background

I am a researcher eager to find out how to tackle the complex sustainability challenges of our time. My research interests include the governance of sustainability transitions, sustainable consumption and production as a part of sustainable development, and promoting systemic change with the circular economy.

I currently work as a researcher in the Circular economy solutions unit. I hold a Master of Science in geography (University of Turku, 2019) and I am a doctoral researcher in environmental sciences (University of Helsinki, 2021-).
