Stepping onto the home-ice stage at the World Championships in 2019 and again in 2025. A packed arena full of Finnish flags created an unforgettable atmosphere — a mix of pride, emotion, and pure joy that I’ve never experienced anywhere else. To skate out with my team at that very moment, representing the Helsinki Rockettes, was a true highlight of my career.

Alongside my own skating, I’m also part of the coaching teams for our club’s younger squads, which I find incredibly rewarding — sharing knowledge and supporting the next generation. In spring 2024, I graduated from the University of Helsinki as an early childhood education teacher, and I also work part-time in that field. In my free time, I enjoy unwinding with good TV series, doing sports with friends, winter swimming, or just hanging out. Whenever possible, I love visiting my family in Jyväskylä.
