"I want to work for a city where the nature is near, where we invest in schools and education, make sustainable choices and take care of each other."
I am a 34-year-old Master of Social Sciences. I spent my childhood living in Lippajärvi and currently I am living in Olari. I have worked in politics for almost ten years, including in the Parliament of Finland and at the SFP’s party office. Currently, I serve as a Special Adviser to the SFP's ministerial group and the Chair of the Party Anders Adlercreutz. My initial motivation for getting involved in politics was a desire to work for the climate and sustainable energy, and these issues remain close to my heart. As a dog owner, I spend a lot of time outdoors, and what I love most about Espoo is the combination of urban life and nearby nature. My core values are equality, education, sustainability, and tolerance.
Important political topics
Sustainable and attractive planning
I want to work towards a sustainable and pleasant city. In a growing city, it’s essential to take care of local nature and green spaces. Urban planning and development should prioritize residents' well-being, and Espoo must remain a city with lots of nearby nature.
The best schools
I want to promote a high-quality education system. It is crucial to ensure sufficient resources for education, class sizes should be reasonable, and all students should receive the support they need. Investments in basic skills are necessary.
Municipal and urban vitality
I want to improve public transportation. Moving around Espoo should be easy in all directions, and using buses, trams, trains, or the metro should be an attractive and convenient option
