A scientist, a mother, a Nordic life
Dr. Sze (Gwen) is a Malaysian who has called Finland home since 2015. She earned her PhD at the University of Helsinki in the Food Chain and Health doctoral programme, studying how the food we eat shapes our long-term wellbeing.
In Finland she also raised her two children, Heidi and Hayden, weaving simple Nordic health habits into everyday life. Along the way she grew to love the Nordic approach to living and wellbeing — and hopes to bring a little of that spirit home, to share with families across Malaysia.
In August 2026 Dr. Sze returns to Malaysia — and brings that Nordic way of caring with her.
