Description
A constructive force for change.I am a 37-year-old Member of Parliament, a Master of Science in Engineering, a mother of two children and a child of two seniors. An experienced councillor, a crisis-resistant negotiator, a curious problem solver and a tenacious bridge builder. A hiker and a bookworm. A human-oriented engineer building a sustainable economy and well-being.
My core values are equality, justice, freedom, empathy and respect for nature. On my desk and close to my heart are especially education, culture, the environment and issues of children, young people and families.
Politics can create hope and solutions in the midst of both major upheavals in the world and everyday challenges of a human scale. I want to reform society so that the economy and human activity are brought within the boundaries of one planet and so that we have a welfare state tomorrow too.
I have served as a city councillor in Espoo for 12 years. In the wellbeing county, I serve as the 1st Vice Chair of the county council, and in Parliament, I work on economic policy as the Vice Chair of the Finance Committee.
Election goals
In a good hometown, everyday life works. Nature is nearby. It is safe to grow and learn in schools and daycare. Culture and libraries invite you to experience. You can get around by public transport and bike, and even pedestrians don't get left behind. Everyone can find a reasonably priced home and a decent job. Loneliness is combated by community to make sure no one is left behind. The economy is managed responsibly within the limits of the environment's carrying capacity. That's the kind of Espoo I want to build.Investing in early childhood education, education and culture, climate work and nurturing biodiversity, and strengthening well-being and equality are important themes for me in the coming term.

Election goals
Health and well-being are the cornerstones of a good life. Access to any healthcare services in Western Uusimaa needs to be easy and quick for everyone. The root causes of sickness in children and young people to be addressed, and families to be supported at different stages of life. Smart reforms ensure that we have a welfare state tomorrow as well.Trust in social and health services should be improved, not eroded. When you get support, security, help and treatment in time and without unnecessary complications, money is also saved. The well-being of young people and the well-being of families are crucial issues for the future of Finland as a whole. I work to ensure that support services for families are strengthened and that substance abuse and mental health services are put in order.
Everyone must be able to live as they are without fear of discrimination, violence or bullying. Promoting human rights and equality must be the starting point of all actions of the wellbeing county.
