Currently, I work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Lapland in project PAWWS. My academic interest rests at the intersection of animal organization studies and emotion management. After six years of working as a guide dog instructor and running a guide dog school, I received an MA in anthrozoology from the University of Exeter in 2019 and my PhD in the same programme in 2023. With expertise in interspecies emotional labour, I work to understand how management theories, regulation, and education can be advanced to improve sustainable and ethical emotional labour practices between humans and individuals of other species. As an ethnographer with an education in anthrozoology, I value multi-method, interdisciplinary approaches to establish roadmaps toward sustainable, regulated, and mutually beneficial work.

My aim is to bring together academic knowledge with practitioner expertise to initiate sustainable, regulated, meaningful change for all stakeholders in multispecies workplaces.
