Biography

I work as project secretary in the research projects WISDOM in Practice and Enhancing Research on the Integration of Formal Educational Programmes and Workplace Learning at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research. My main task is analyzing qualitative data using Atlas.ti -program, but I also take translating tasks and other research assisting tasks. 

I am a teacher of English and Swedish by education. Previously I have worked on various projects, with topics including language and interaction, digital inclusion of the elderly, reading and literacy of young people, sustainable development, and the overall well-being of young adult students. Hence, I am interested in all kinds of topics and social phenomena that can be studied with a pedagogical approach and by examining language.
