I graduated from the Kaustinen Music Upper Secondary School and completed vocational qualifications in youth work and product development. I have 40 years of work experience, including client work in child protection, family services and substance abuse treatments. Before retiring, I spent 18 years in development roles within social and health care. I have participated in regional and national development projects, gaining valuable perspective on different regions, research institutes, and ministries.
I am a candidate in the parliamentary elections. My themes focus on broad cooperation for human dignity, biodiversity and sustainable development, bioeconomy, security of supply, and economic recovery. Decision-making must be grounded in understanding people’s everyday needs and the challanges of national economy.
