I’m an actor and singer-songwriter based in Helsinki, Finland.

I trained on the Foundation Course in Acting at RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), London and finished in 2018. I have also developed my acting skills with several shorter courses at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, London, Russian State Institute of Performing Arts, Russia and Theatre Academy Helsinki, Finland.

Having always been intrigued by learning different cultures, I have had multiple opportunities to live abroad. During high school I lived as an exchange student in Asheville, North Carolina, where I mainly focused on studying singing and acting. This sparked the idea of wanting to establish an international career as an actor.

I have worked on several on screen productions: Film, TV and commercials.

I made my first appearance in TV as Saara, the lead role in a TV series Vasikantanssi when I was only 11 years old. I made my movie debut playing Jessica, one of the four lead characters in Other Girls (Toiset tytöt) in 2015.

I am also known by my artist name Pimu and signed a recording contract with Sony Music Finland in 2017. Currently I’m working on my new music independently. I released my debut album Renessanssi proudly as an independent artist in April 2022. I write my songs in Finnish, creating fresh and organic pop music with a touch of soul.

Creative, passionate, eager to learn and always wanting to develop are approaches I actively bring to my work. I find myself relaxing around inspiring people, beautiful visuals, fresh air and a good story.
