PhD, neuropsychologist, psychotherapist. Senior researcher at Folkhälsan Research Center in Helsinki and Principal investigator (PI) together with Monica Londen. I supervise students within the project.
Among my strengths are a strong love of learning, together with courage, judgment and kindness. Without a combination of courage and love of learning I would never have started up research projects on strengthening the well-being of young people. In research we can make use of many different strengths and I find it great that within the research group we can draw upon many different strengths.

My core strengths are appreciation of beauty and excellence, judgement, forgiveness and gratitude. In my everyday life, I appreciate the stillness of nature and home. Gratitude often goes hand in hand with my appreciation of beauty and excellence. In my work with both research and clients, I do my best to use my judgment. Forgiveness helps me to deal with conflicts, but sometimes it can be hard for me to forgive myself.
