Biography
I work as a project coordinator and researcher in The FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study (http://www.finnbrain.fi).
Research
The aim of my study is to analyze child stress regulation in out-of-home child care and at home care contexts. I am also interested in child temperament, social competence and the stress reactivity in early childhood.
