Bio

Welcome to my webpage!

I am a researcher exploring the intersections of media, communication technologies, and social practices, with a particular focus on sports and physical activity. Through research, I aim to raise awareness and stimulate debate on these relationships, steering them toward greater equality and welfare.

In recent years, my research has addressed topics such as the datafication of journalism and its impact on journalists’ well-being and audience trust in news media, young people’s news consumption on social media, sports journalists’ roles in addressing sexual and gender-based harassment in sports, and female sports coaches’ career paths and perceptions of coaching.

I received my PhD in 2021 with research focusing on the interplay between social interaction, organisation, and the use of digital networked media in the context of recreational sport.

I am the current president of the Finnish Association for Media and Communication Studies and a board member of Young Academy Finland. Internationally, I collaborate with research networks such as Nordic Women in a Digitized Sports Culture (Aarhus University), Non-physical Violence Network (University of Helsinki), and Digital Cultures and Sports Research Laboratory (University of Salerno).
