- Astrologer
- Espoo School of Visual Arts. Special interest in using art for self-exploration and emotional expression

- Color Analysis. I am interested in how colors influence self-discovery and confidence. Color analysis helps identify the shades that enhance an individual’s presence and create harmony.

Mythologies, religious traditions, and stories have always fascinated me. As a child, the tales of Greek and Roman mythology I read took on a new meaning when I discovered astrology. Symbolism, interpretation, and analysis immediately felt natural to me, and I have studied astrology for several years.

These interests led me to study theology and religious studies, where I have focused on analytical work throughout my academic years. My research has particularly explored the influence of religion on Western popular culture, such as the use of religious narratives and themes in films. Currently, I am writing my master's thesis on the portrayal of religions and possessed bodies in horror films and how these representations construct or reinforce existing power structures.

Alongside my studies, arts and crafts have been a lifelong passion. I have explored various art forms, with a primary focus on contemporary art, photography, and painting for many years. I graduated from the Espoo School of Visual Arts in 2018, incorporating astrology into my final contemporary art project.

In recent years, my artistic expressions have evolved. In addition to watercolor and oil painting, I have expanded my skills in crochet, weaving, and color analysis.

I offer the following readings:

- Natal Chart
- Solar Return Chart
- Astrological Charts for Events (e.g., engagements, weddings, travels)
