"I want to work for an ecologically and economically sustainable Helsinki. All residents should have the opportunity to feel good and participate in their hometown. The position of culture should be strengthened."
I am a 51-year-old Helsinki resident living on Brändö with roots in Loviisa. I am an actor, solution-oriented therapist and entrepreneur and my heart beats for equality, shared responsibility and acceptance.
I want to see clear progress in how we as a society and individuals invest in sustainability - socially, economically and environmentally. In my work as a therapist, I see up close the effects of decisions that have lost focus on people. For me, it is clear that culture and nature support our well-being. I want to see long-term thinking and responsibility in decision-making.
Important political topics
Thriving citizens
Young people's well-being and faith in the future need to be supported with concrete actions.
I cherish the power of shared commitment, the importance of practical skills to support the circular economy, strengthen our resilience and preparedness, and create a functioning society for all.
Forerunners in climate and the environment
As an urban outdoors person, I choose solutions that support a functioning and prosperous local environment and that position Helsinki as a pioneer for climate-smart solutions.
Culture and Leisure
As a Master of Theatre Arts, actor, musician and director, I care about the living conditions of the creative industry and the importance of culture for us humans. Culture should be accessible to everyone.

Early childhood education should be free for everyone.
Families make their own choices about how they plan their daily lives, whether their children participate in early childhood education or not, but early childhood education should be accessible to everyone. It is important for a child\'s development, and early childhood education can have far-reaching positive effects on children\'s learning, social skills and health right up to adulthood.
