Biography

I received my doctorate from the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ in 2012. Since 2014, I have worked as a senior lecturer in social work. I am a docent of social work (University of Eastern Finland). Before academia, I worked as the director of immigration services for the City of Jyväskylä. During my work career, I have participated in various national and international development projects concerning multicultural work with forced and voluntary migrants

Research interests

My current research concerns how welfare services promote the integration of migrants in Finnish society, especially in rural areas. My research interests also include the formation of trust and recognition of (forced) migrants in social work and other welfare services.
