(Finland)
I have a background in law, journalism and future studies. I am based in Helsinki but have lived/studied/worked in Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Tanzania and Cambodia. My main interests are migration and information law, business prospects and creative writing.
Why I joined FutureLab Europe? Because I desired a platform to communicate and exchange ideas and experiences on a European level.
