2019 English
I am a 41-year-old climate policy specialist, entrepreneur and Master of Social Sciences from Tampere. I used to serve as a Member of Parliament in 2004–15. I am also a board member of the European Green Party.
I look for solutions to the climate crisis, education challenges and inequality. I want to build bridges over borders. Watch my campaign video (subtitles in English).
I have travelled in about 60 countries and lived in Brussels and New Delhi. I speak fluent English and decent Swedish and I have also studied some German, Japanese and French.
All Finnish citizens – including those with a dual citizenship – can vote in the parliamentary elections. Pre-polling will take place in Finland on April 3–9 and the actual voting day is April 14. Outside of Finland you can vote at Finnish consulates or by mail.
You can support my campaign in many ways. If you want to take part, send me a message!
