Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland
I define myself as a creative generalist, with strong cognitive orientation and broad intellectual curiosity from economics and world politics to human mind and culture. I have education in Theology and religion studies (MA), Mindfulness Meditation (teacher certificate), and Contemporary dance art (vocational education). Whatever I do, it seems that I´m always asking the silly yet profound question of ”why”. I always try to challenge myself by changing perspectives, integrating multiple levels of investigation and to keep pushing myself to follow conversations, where I´m on the edge of my current understanding. I am a value driven professional with and a passion for the wellbeing of individuals and society at large. Theology and science of religion are by nature multi-disciplinary fields. During my studies I further developed my generalist understanding with subsidiary studies in Social Psychology and Cognitive Science. In my master thesis I combined insights from classical science of religion perspectives to modern theories in embodied cognition, systems thinking and phenomenology. The cognitive study of rituals is amazingly applicable (and under-used) tool to understand moderns society and cultural change, especially in our digital age. At the moment I am interested to work in the intersect of emerging technologies like generative AI and culture, community building, organizational development, HR, coaching, etc. I am looking for working opportunities and partnerships.
