I graduated with a Master of Theology from Åbo Akademi University in 2015, focusing mainly on the theology and the writings of the early Christian church. In 2019 I graduated with a Master of Arts from University of Turku with a major in Latin philology and minors in Greek philology and education. I have been teaching Latin in various schools in Turku on the secondary and university levels since 2007.

I began my doctoral research in the fall of 2020. During the academic year 2021–2022 I was a fellow at the Finnish Institute in Rome. I've worked as a salaried PhD researcher at University of Turku since September 2022. I'm also a member in a research project at the Finnish Institute in Rome studying the development of Ostia, Rome's harbour city, in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages.
