Hi!

I am a Master of Philosophy in Russian language and literature, and I work as an Employment Specialist at the City of Lohja. My main tasks include helping immigrants integrate into our society.

I am originally from Siuntio, but have lived in Lohja for ten years with my Ukrainian husband. Our family also includes a cute little boy.

I feel very comfortable living in Lohja and now I want to participate in decision-making, as I believe it is important to promote the development of Lohja into an even more pleasant and safe city to live in.

Issues related to home and family, equality, integration of immigrants, education, employment and the environment are particularly close to my heart.

I believe in a society without racism and discrimination. In the workplace, we should also remember to take care of the well-being of employees. In addition, I believe it is important not to forget the cities and countryside outside the capital region. Even a city like Lohja should flourish. One way to make Lohja flourish is, for example, to attract companies to expand their operations to the city of Lohja. This would lead to an increased number of new jobs. A viable city with a strong economy creates security for its residents.
