I was adopted from India when I was four months old. I was flought from Calcutta I grew up in a beautiful Northern Finland city called Tornio which locates on the border of Finland and Sweden. I have always loved everything technological so it has been a hobby of mine for all my life.

I first thought it would also be a career for me and I studied a Vocational upper secondary qualification in Information and Telecommunications Technology. After the studies I realized that I wanted more that I would like to be a teacher so I applied to University of Eastern Finland and got in and now I have masters degree on theology.

But as a teacher I haven't forgotten computers. If it supports pedagogical goals I'm more than willing to use information and telecommunication technology with my students. And I have learned that usually it does. With modern technology we can achieve awesome things easily, we can make learning fun and we can inspire our students for the future.
