Message

At Åbo Akademi University, I design and teach graduate courses in intercultural communication, including Introduction to Intercultural Communication and Culture, Peace, and Conflict. I develop inclusive curriculum and learning materials, and coordinate hybrid and in-person learning environments.

With Mobile Futures, an EU-funded research initiative, I coordinated project activities and supported academic events, policy briefs, and research dissemination on migration, mobility, and social inclusion. I also contributed to the Immigrant Women Empowerment Project, using storytelling and civic dialogue to strengthen the visibility of marginalized voices.
