"Eyes on the future, heart in traditions"
I am 56 years old and a mother of three. I am bilingual with roots both in the city and the countryside. I work in my dream job as a teacher and principal. I am active, versatile, and enjoy challenges. For me are nature, animals, the archipelago, sports and culture important.
Important political topics
Children, Youth, and Families
We should invest in the well-being of children, young people, and families. The ill-being among children and young people has increased. Every individual is valuable and needs to be seen. Children and young people are the future.
Sustainable and attractive planning
The city of Porvoo is close to the sea and the archipelago. We have a strong cultural and historical background with the core of the city, the old town, and a center. We have a diverse countryside with beautiful nature. We should develop a sustainable future in all directions. Porvoo should be a city for everyone, whether you want to live in the center or in the countryside. Long-term planning and economy will ensure the realization of the vision that Porvoo is the city of our dreams.
Municipal and urban vitality
To ensure that Porvoo is a vibrant city, we need to make sensible decisions that support an efficient and functional business and service structure that attracts and engages companies, organizations, and people of different ages. We need functional public transport and housing. We need sports and cultural services that increase attractiveness.
