Porvoo
"Well-being and mental health are the foundation for everything else."
I have been a resident of Borgå since 2010, worked for the city of Borgå as a school psychologist 2010-2022, and for Östra Nylands välfärdsområde 2023-2024.
I stood in the 2021 municipal elections. Currently sitting in Nämnden för Växande och Lärande (committee for growing and learning).
Well-being and mental health are very important to me both in my professional as well as my private life.

The correct use of educational support, the availability of school counselling, emotional and mental support, as well as teaching that gives students the tools for the future.
