I work as a project and doctoral researcher at the University of Eastern Finland’s Business School, under the Tourism Business research group. I have work experience both from practical tourism field as well as from research. Two of my most important interests in research and tourism in general are experience design and inclusive tourism. For inclusive tourism, I am especially interested about gender and sexual minority identities in tourism context, which is also the topic of my dissertation research. My love for experience design I get to express through teaching in the Tourism Marketing and Management master’s degree program, as well as in some project works.
