A Journey From Lapland to Milan
Hi there! Let me share a bit about myself. I grew up in the breathtaking wilderness of Lapland, surrounded by endless forests, shimmering lakes, and the rich traditions of Sami culture. Those early years shaped me—giving me a love for nature, a deep respect for my roots, and a curiosity about the world beyond.
In 2016, life took a surprising turn when I moved to Milan, the heart of the fashion world. What started as an academic exchange turned into an entirely new adventure when I was discovered by a talent scout. Modeling wasn’t something I ever planned, but it quickly became a way for me to express myself and share a piece of my Nordic heritage with the world.
Now, I’m balancing two worlds: one as a model in the vibrant fashion industry and the other as a medical student working with cutting-edge AI in healthcare. It’s a bit of a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
A Life in Progress
1994: Born in Inari, Lapland
I came into the world surrounded by the pristine beauty of Lapland, a place steeped in Sami traditions and untouched wilderness.
2012: Moved to Helsinki for Study
Leaving my small village behind, I pursued a degree in Biology at the University. It was here I began to explore the connection between science and the environment.
2016: Discovered in Milan
During an academic exchange in Italy, a chance encounter with a talent scout opened the door to the world of modeling. This moment changed my life forever.

Returning to my passion for science, I started medical school at the University, specializing in the integration of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare.
2021: Became a Medical Research Assistant
I joined a research team at the University Hospital, working on cutting-edge AI projects aimed at transforming patient care.
2024: A Milestone Year
As I prepare to graduate from medical school, I continue to balance my life as a model, a student, and an advocate for innovation and sustainability.
Rooted in Nature, Driven by Passion
My Lapland Roots
I was born in the heart of Lapland, in a small village called Inari. It’s a place where nature feels endless, where forests and lakes stretch beyond the horizon, and the Northern Lights light up the winter skies. Growing up there wasn’t just about living with nature—it was about living with nature. My family, deeply connected to Sami traditions, taught me the importance of respect and balance with the world around us.
My Family
-
My Father: A quiet and resourceful man who taught me how to respect the land through hunting, fishing, and his deep knowledge of the wilderness.
-
My Mother: A teacher who instilled in me a love for learning and the belief that knowledge could open any door.
-
My Brother: My younger sibling, who stayed in Lapland to work on environmental conservation, reminding me of the beauty of preserving our roots.
-
My Grandparents: Guardians of Sami traditions who told me stories of the past, connecting me to the culture that inspires so much of who I am today.
A Move to Explore the World
Leaving Lapland wasn’t easy, but I knew I had to explore beyond the familiar. Helsinki was my first step into a larger world, where I pursued my studies in biology and discovered how science could help us protect the planet I love so much. Then came Milan—a whirlwind adventure that turned my world upside down in the best way possible.
What My Roots Mean to Me Today
Even as I travel the world, my connection to Lapland remains my anchor. It’s where I go to find balance and clarity. The Sami culture, with its reverence for nature and community, continues to shape my perspective on life. It reminds me to live with purpose, embrace challenges, and always stay true to myself.
That's meee :)
From Runway to Editorials
How It All Began
It was 2016, and I had just moved to Milan for an academic exchange. One sunny afternoon, I was sipping coffee in a small café in the Brera district when a talent scout approached me. I’ll admit—I was skeptical at first. Modeling was never something I imagined for myself, but after some encouragement, I decided to give it a try. That decision changed everything.
Breaking Into the Fashion World
My first shoot was exhilarating and nerve-wracking all at once, but it gave me a taste of something I’d never experienced before—a way to express myself and share a piece of my story. Before I knew it, I was walking runways, posing for editorials, and collaborating with some of the most iconic fashion houses in the industry.
What Makes My Style Unique
I bring something a little different to the table—a blend of Nordic elegance and Italian sophistication. My roots inspire my look: natural beauty, strength, and grace. Whether I’m on the runway, in front of the camera, or attending events, I strive to embody authenticity and confidence.
