Espoo
"Espoo a City for All – a city where everyone can feel a sense of belonging, access the services they need, and live in a safe and pleasant environment."
I am married and have five adult children and two grandchildren. I hold a Master’s degree in Political Science and work as the Executive Director of an organization for people with disabilities.
I have been active in Espoo politics since 2012 and have held various positions: City Board member, group leader, Chair of the Swedish Delegation, and Vice Chair of the Negotiation Delegation. Now, I am seeking renewed trust to continue serving citizens of Espoo in the Espoo City Council.
I am active and energetic. In my free time, I enjoy jogging and going to the gym. I spend my summers in Snappertuna, where I engage in plenty of outdoor work while also enjoying wonderful excursions into the forest and out to sea.
I am also running in the county elections

Sustainable and attractive planning
Urban planning is one of the most important tasks of the City of Espoo.
• All planning must be sustainable, and all Espoo residents should always have access to nature.
• When expanding old residential areas, their original character must be taken into account.
• Good planning can help prevent segregation (a balanced mix of rental and owner-occupied housing).
• The archipelago must not be destroyed by oversized construction projects.
• We must protect our diverse environments (forests, sea, shores, fields) and safeguard biodiversity.
Municipal and urban vitality
• Espoo should have a variety of workplaces, ranging from factories and private companies to organizations – the city itself is also an important employer.
• The city should provide efficient services for job seekers and companies looking for employees.
• The city should invest in flexible integration pathways – also in Swedish.
• Active cooperation with civil society on integration issues.
• More support and assistance for young people to help them enter the workforce.
Thriving citizens
• Healthy and well-being residents are the city's greatest resource.
• The city should offer diverse cultural and sports activities for its residents, regardless of age or economic status.
• Extended opening hours for libraries.
• Espoo should actively collaborate with associations and with the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County for the well-being of its residents.
• Investments in communication and information for Espoo residents, at least in Finnish and Swedish, but also in English and possibly in other languages.
