I am a translator (Finnish to English), dramaturg and researcher based in London and Oxford. These overlapping practices centre around a lifelong interest in words and the movement of words - be that from one language to another or from page to stage - and the ethics and implications of those lexical journeys.

I studied English Literature at the University of York before completing an MA in Text and Performance at Birkbeck and RADA. In 2023, I completed a PhD by Practice as Research in Drama at the University of Kent, with a thesis titled: “Strategies for Feminist Theatre Translation: Minna Canth’s The Worker’s Wife from Finnish to English.” From 2023-2025, I held the Rosemary Pountney Junior Research Fellowship in British and European Drama at St Anne’s College, University of Oxford. I am currently being funded by the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation to complete work on my forthcoming book, Four Plays by Minna Canth: Experiments in Feminist Realism.

Alongside these pursuits, I am a choral singer. I spent two years as an alto Graduate Choral Assistant at Keble College, Oxford, and now sings across London.
