A graduate student in Peace and Conflict Research in Turku, Finland. My life is about understanding how to build a more just world. My reading habits reflect this—I focus on international relations, human rights memoirs, and contemporary world fiction. I believe that empathy is the foundation of peace and literature is the best way to build it. My profile is a thoughtful, academic space: university seminars, the historic riverfront of Turku, and reviews of books that tackle global challenges. I’m an advocate for refugee rights and plan to work for an international NGO. I spend my free time rowing and reading.
