Education
In 2016 I graduated as a Master of Social Sciences in Media and Communications from Helsinki University. Thanks to the university’s flexibility, I was able to spend a year abroad, have a fling with another university, and study as many minor subjects as I could – and I’d’ve been damned if I didn’t take all these opportunities.
