I started as a trainee at Blic’s Brussels office in September 2024. I monitor and analyze the work of the EU institutions and participate in client work. My background is in social sciences, and I am currently finishing my master's studies in Political Science at the University of Turku. In my studies I have focused on international relations and EU politics, particularly EU's climate and energy policy and external relations. Before joining Blic, I have worked in the public sector both as a trainee and as a specialist. I have gained work experience with EU and UN policies from the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

I am passionate about the complexities of EU politics, analyzing societal phenomena, and learning new things. As a curious-minded generalist, I am excited about working at Blic and getting the opportunity to dive into a variety of topics and deepen my expertise in advocacy and the EU decision-making process.
