"Your Vote – My Mission"

I am a subject teacher in history and social studies, and I have taught in both primary and secondary schools. Since 2006, I have worked as a principal for a preschool, a primary school (grades 1–9), and a high school.

I grew up in Ostrobothnia, studied in Turku, and have lived in Tampere since 2001. I am married, and we have two teenage daughters and a small pug named Putte.

Tampere is a growing and dynamic city, and I want to work to ensure that my home municipality remains a vibrant, safe, and pleasant place to live.

Important political topics

The best schools

The best school is a safe school where every student has the opportunity to read, learn, and grow.

School should be a place where students can express themselves, develop as individuals, and prepare for the future.

A good school provides a solid foundation for life. It should also be a workplace where teachers and staff feel comfortable so that they can carry out their important work effectively.
