Biography
I am a doctoral researcher in digital language studies in the Utuling doctoral programme at the University of Turku.

I am also a board member and responsible for communications in JUNecto ry, an association for doctoral researchers. I represented doctoral researchers in the research assessment project RAE (2022) and audit interview (2023).

Research
In my research, I focus on crisis communication and interaction during the Covid-19 pandemic from the language use perspective. I'm especially interested in what kind of attitudes and emotions different media actors from news writers to social media users attach to the global health crisis in Finnish digital media. My research has been funded by the Kone Foundation 2023–2027, the C.V. Åkerlund Media Foundation 2022–2023, the Turku University Foundation's Granö research residency grant 2024 and the Utuling Doctoral Programme's travel grants 2023 and 2024.
I'm also a part of the multidisciplinary TurkuNLP language technology team: https://turkunlp.org/.
