I am a Tuira-based city counsellor, a member of the Urban Environmental Committee for the City of Oulu and a Green Candidate in Oulu in the municipal elections 2025 with number 283!
I am running for re-election in the municipal elections, because I want to make Oulu a more pleasant and sustainable city to live in. I want to build a city environment that encourages Oulu residents of all ages to lead an active life – from babies to grannies. I want to advocate for investments in walking, cycling and public transportation.
I work as an Executive Director of a football club, and I have master’s degrees in health sciences (M.H.Sc.) and in industrial engineering and management (M.Sc. (Tech)). I am a founding member of Oulun Jalankulkijat, an association for pedestrians in Oulu, and I also serve as its chairperson. My family includes a spouse and a toddler-aged child. We are welcoming another child into our family in July.
My campaign slogan in municipal elections is Joyful, Bright and a more Mobile Oulu! Read more my election themes here.
I would be grateful for any kind of help, big or small, you could give for my campaign!
