Kulttuurinavigaattori

I wrote my first Wikipedia article in December 2005. I mostly contribute to the Finnish language Wikipedia. By education I am an art teacher and have been teaching art and cultural subjects in many places, mostly colleges and universities. I have experience in education planning. My second job has been a freelance journalist. I am an art critic and have concentrated in cultural journalism and art criticism. I am a member of The Finnish Critics' Association and AICA. I am interested in drawing, photography and bicycling.

I was nominated to the board of association Wikimedia Suomi in 2015, which is the Wikimedia chapter in Finland. I volunteered as the president of Wikimedia Suomi in 2016-2018. I live in Helsinki, Finland.

Many of my Wikipedia contributions have focused to different fields of art and culture, but in recent years I have edited articles in a wider scope. I am especially fond of talking about Wikimedia and Wikipedia to people who know nothing of them. I think I am a Wikimedia "pre-school teacher".
