"Fresh energy: Chi - for Your family"

Questions that are important to me include families, early childhood education, teaching, care and services for senior citizens, entrepreneurship, bilingualism, cultural diversity, as well as equality and equity. I focus on concrete and sustainable solutions.

I moved to Sipoo a little over six years ago, and with fresh eyes, I have seen what works well in Sipoo and where we need to improve. We live in Gesterby, and our family consists of me, my partner, two small children, and our charming dog Biggles, who is an Australian Shepherd. I am 35 years old and come from Riihimäki. I speak fluent Swedish, Finnish, English, and Vietnamese.

I work as a specialist in financial planning and financial monitoring. Issues related to continuous learning and employment have become familiar to me through my work. I have 13 years of experience in public administration. Additionally, I come from a family of small business owners.

Important political topics

Children, Youth, and Families

Sipoo's heart should beat for families. We take care of our residents of all ages.

We invest in high-quality early childhood education and teaching in both national languages. The wellbeing of teachers and caregivers is a prerequisite for success. In addition to improving the fundamental skills of children and young people, I want us to promote their social skills.

Thriving villages and village schools are an important part of Sipoo's identity. I want Sipoo to do everything possible to preserve the village schools. Vibrant villages and village schools are Sipoo's trademark and attraction factor.

Economy & Business

For economic growth, entrepreneurs and businesses are needed. I want Sipoo to have favourable conditions for businesses that help them to success. There must be sufficient guidance to support entrepreneurs. We encourage entrepreneurship: I want young people to have more opportunities to familiarise themselves with business activities already in school, so that the threshold for becoming an entrepreneur is lowered.

Opportunities for continuous learning are offered for adults. I want individuals to receive better personal guidance to find the right educational options.

Equality and Equity

Sipoo takes care of its residents in an equal and equitable manner even in the future. Bilingualism is a historic and natural part of Sipoo. We will ensure a future where both languages thrive.

Care and services for senior citizens are provided with high quality, there are enough care and bed places, and we support various forms of housing. Everyone should have the opportunity to be and live close to their loved ones and friends. It should also be easier to become an informal caregiver. We ensure that everyone in Sibbo can age with dignity.

Immigrants and cultural diversity are a resource. We invest in integration services, develop guidance, and improve employment. We ensure that the Swedish language is also actively offered as an integration language.
