• 36-year-old mother of two small children and stepmother of two teenagers, living in Herttoniemenranta

• Member of the Green Party Council Group in Helsinki. During the current electoral term, I have served on the Helsinki City Board and as Vice-Chair of the Business Development Sub-committee of the Board.

• Senior Advisor in the fields of business, immigration and skills. Master of Education and primary school teacher.
