Greetings!
I am the new curator at Hertonäs Manor Museum. I am 26 years old and have recently graduated as Master of Arts from the University of Helsinki. My hometown is Espoo and I have grown up in the vicinity of Espoo manor. History has been among my main interests since my childhood and it has been my dream to work in a historical environment. I like to travel and visit museums in Europe, especially in Germany and France. 18th century Europe is one of my favourite subjects.
I am familiar with Hertonäs manor since I have worked here as a guide as a student. I have also learnt more about the history of Helsinki and Finland at large while working as a guide in Suomenlinna and at the National Museum of Finland. I have work at the City Archive of Helsinki as well.
I look forward to working with the guides, and for the society Svenska Odlingens Vänner, to uphold and develop Hertonäs manor museum.
