LIFE Fellow since 2025, University of Zurich

I am a PhD student at the Chair of Developmental Psychology: Infancy and Childhood at the University of Zurich. I hold a Joint Master’s Degree in Language and Linguistics from the University of Turku, the University of Pavia, and Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena. During my studies, I worked as a language teacher and tutor, which further deepened my interest in language acquisition, communication and developmental psychology.
The research project I am working on aims to investigate the communicative environments in which multilingual children grow up, focusing on how they navigate  between languages, cultural norms,  social contexts and different interaction partners.  Using experience sampling methods and voice-activated recorders, the focus is to explore children's everyday communicative experiences in situ. My doctoral research is supervised by Moritz Daum (University of Zurich), Stephanie Wermelinger (University of Zurich), and Julien Mayor (University of Oslo). The project is funded by a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
