Oulu
"Diversity is our strength – education is the foundation – together, we build an open, inclusive, and thriving Oulu where everyone has the opportunity to succeed."
I’m a language teacher and have worked both in Finland and abroad. At the age of 56, I took the chance to work overseas, immerse myself in a new culture, and try new things – like learning to dive! My family, friends, and colleagues describe me as positive, open, and courageous. I see opportunities in change and strive to build bridges between people. I value education, diversity, and equality – and I want to help create an open and inclusive Oulu where everyone, regardless of background or age, has the chance to succeed!
