WELL-BEING
IN TAMPERE
AND PIRKANMAA
I know that life is not a simple journey of accomplishments. I have personally overcome a difficult adolescence: mental health struggles for which I received no help, the resulting drug problems, and dropping out of high school. Eventually, I found my way through an adult high school, got into university, and graduated as a psychologist – and now, I want to help others.
As a psychologist, I have worked with unemployed individuals at the Pirkanmaa TE Office, supported university students at Tampere University, and helped children and young people as a school psychologist in the municipalities of Punkalaidun, Hämeenkyrö, and Parkano. As an entrepreneur, I have provided extensive mental health training and conducted research on environmental psychology from the perspective of climate change.
Through all of this, I have witnessed firsthand how a society driven by overconsumption and competition is burning out both people and the planet. This is why I am in politics – I cannot stand by and watch as more and more of us fall through the cracks without help. I want to make a difference by listening, understanding, and building a more compassionate society with the expertise of a psychologist.
