Pietarsaari
"Experienced, collaborative, reliable team player, also in politics!"
I am 53 years old and a trained nurse, currently working as an organizational expert at Tehy. I have worked in emergency care as a nurse and team leader for over 20 years. I am married to Malin and have three adult sons.
I enjoy exercising in various ways. For example, I play golf, ice hockey, and go to the gym. I am also studying "Leadership and Development in Healthcare" at Centria. I am now running in my second welfare area election, where I have been part of its council and also sit on the Jakobstad council.
Important political topics
Economy & Business
The welfare services for residents are provided in municipalities. Proper resourcing and maintenance of services are essential. Sports, education, and cultural services are well-maintained and developed. Good cooperation with welfare areas ensures healthy residents.
Municipal and urban vitality
Opportunities for businesses to operate and develop must be created in the city. The city's economy must be placed on a sustainable foundation. New investments are needed in the city and surrounding areas. Good services and housing opportunities guarantee an attractive city and support population growth.
Housing and Construction
Pietarsaari is a great city for children and families. The schools are in good condition, and there are diverse services nearby. Housing production must be developed to offer the possibility to live in different living environments. Near the sea, nature, or in the city center.
