Work and practice broadly around the themes of environmental and social sustainability and justice. Social and environmental sustainability form the foundation to thriving life for all, within planetary boundaries. A sustainable economy is born from this foundation.

I specialize in handling residence permit applications for studies and re-migration. I have personally successfully obtained a residence permit for studies twice and once for remigration. Having been through the process myself, I know how stressful it can be. I will treat your application like my own.

I additionally offer relocation, settlement, and integration services to organizations for their employees moving to Finland, as part of my work to develop and internationalize Finnish working life. This is an excellent investment in international employee well-being and retention.

My pro bono commitments are currently: FULL.

I frequently contribute to public discourse and advocate for nature and biodiversity protection, democracy, children’s rights, and the right to participate in public decision-making.

I am currently active with the Extinction Rebellion movement. I sometimes provide pro bono consulting services to local citizens groups and NGOs regarding nature protection.

My appeal of the Helsinki City Council’s 2021 budget is presently in the Helsinki Administrative Court. At issue is the City of Helsinki’s decision to end the Municipal Child Supplement for children over the age of one.

For many reasons, I find the aforementioned decision illegal, discriminatory, and unacceptable. Additionally, I made two demands for revised decisions to the Helsinki Education Division regarding the Municipal Child Supplement. One of the demands is available here.
