Sanna (pronounced SahN-Nah) grew up in the picturesque, rural Eastern Finland. A daughter to a bookseller, she learned to love stories young, and a small-town-girl, she felt early the magical pull of the Finnish nature. Both of these loves remain with her today. After graduating from upper secondary school, she studied in the coastal city of Turku and lived briefly in Bristol, England. She first crossed the Atlantic to work as a volunteer missionary guide on the historic Temple Square in Salt Lake City, and, after a year in Helsinki, Finland, returned to Utah to study English at the Brigham Young University.

​

Some of Sanna's favorite things are stormy days, bookish pastry shops, ice skating, and getting cozy with a good book. She has a black belt in taekwondo, and she will forever be a horse girl. She lives in the Utah Valley with her husband and their three daughters, and, for a month each year, she stays in Finland.
