Writer & Performer

I was born in Finland the year Chernobyl exploded, and I am exactly the same age as Lady Gaga. I sing when I feel safe enough, but mostly I write poems about sailors and restless people, create beautiful & disturbing poetic drama, and perform with spoken words or without them.

I work as a playwright, dramaturg & poet, performer and theatre-maker – and sometimes I design sound. I have experience as producer and production manager, as stage manager and as an assistant director. I created my first play when I was seven years old with my friends and performed it at school assembly – A piece about a worm who sings, where I had the role of a horse with black socks who played the piano.

I moved over to Ireland in 2019 to study after visiting here multiple times a year for a very long time. The pandemic happened during the end of my MA at the University of Galway, and I figured that since the world is ending, I might as well move over to an island – Árainn – which is where I am still based in.

I am passionate about
