Brief Biographical Sketch:

I'm a postdoctoral student at Stanford, School of Medicine. I do cancer research on hereditary cancer syndromes, but in SPLASH I’m going to teach about my country, culture, and language. Finnish is one of the hardest languages in the world. I love baking, hiking with my family, and traveling.
