I graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2010, after which I had a year-long internship at the Hyvinkää equine hospital that led to a position at that same hospital, where I was the first person in Finland to be in charge of using magnetic resonance imaging on horses. After Hyvinkää equine hospital I worked at the mobile equine practice Talliklinikka and the Helsinki University equine hospital, as well as in diagnostic radiographic imaging.

At the moment I’m doing a specialist degree relating to horse diseases and disorders. The subject of my specialization thesis is magnetic resonance imaging of the pastern and its clinical implications. My special interests are illnesses and disorders in sport horses, diagnostic imaging and treatment of emergency cases.

During the last few years I have focused on veterinary ultrasound courses, and I am doing the international ISELP ultrasound degree at the moment.

Equestrianism has always had a place in my heart, and before my university studies I lived and traveled around central Europe, where I worked with sports horses. I also travelled all over the world to attend show jumping competitions. I am an official veterinarian at FEI sanctioned events.

I spend my free time with my family and on my daughter’s horseback riding.
