I graduated from the Faculty of Law at the University of Turku with a Master of Laws degree in 2017. During that time, I had the opportunity to participate in research project Making MyData Real, which motivated me to apply for a position as a Doctoral Researcher within the faculty. I ended up working full time as a data protection specialist for several years and returned in autumn 2021 to work as a Project Researcher for IDA project with the focus on data protection law, specifically the justifications of using and sharing personal data. I also collaborate with a multidisciplinary research group, where we investigate, among other things, data leaks.
