"My candidacy is dedicated to strengthening the well-being of young people, focusing on responsible politics, and ensuring better support for mental health issues."
Born and raised in Vaasa, I have always had a strong commitment to social issues. I know how crucial well-functioning social and healthcare services are for all of us—regardless of age. In my free time, I study, go to the gym, and spend time with friends.
I want to work for a stronger welfare system, better services, and more opportunities for young people. Together, we can build a society where no one is left behind
Important political topics
Safe living
A secure life is about feeling safe, having access to care when needed, and knowing that society is there to support you. Whether it's elderly care, mental health, or emergency care, we must ensure that no one falls through the cracks. A strong welfare society is built on community, responsibility, and investments in people's well-being.
Mental Health
One of the biggest challenges for Finland today is how poorly many of us young people feel. Many young people are struggling in silence, and when they finally seek help, it is unfortunately hard to get. We can't afford cuts in mental health care at all. Instead, large investments are needed to handle the growing demand for help.
Thriving children, adolescents and families
A strong society begins with the well-being of children, young people, and families. We must invest in accessible care, early support, and resources for mental health, so that no one is left alone when they need help. Secure families create a secure future.
