In English

I am Member of Parliament, representing SDP. I am also Chair and Member of the Helsinki City Council.

I was born in Helsinki in 1988, where I also went to school.  After high school, I studied at the University of Lapland, where I completed Master’s degree in Social Sciences. 

I have lived in several suburbs in Helsinki, such as Kurkimäki, Mellunkylä and Vallila. I have found my permanent home in Myllypuro. Outdoor activities in the wonderful nature of Helsinki are close to my heart.

Both nationally and in Helsinki, I want to promote equal services, fair working life, as well as welfare of children and senior citizens. I want to ensure that we have affordable housing, especially in Helsinki and also cherish natural values. During my years in the Parliament and the City Council, I have learned how results require cooperation. That is why I want to be a politician who is known for her skills of cooperation.

I have been a Member of Parliament since 2019.  At the Finnish Parliament, I am a member of Environment Committee and Administration Committee. 

In 2024, I became a mother for the first time. 

I was the SDP’s Mayoral candidate in Helsinki in the municipal elections of spring 2025. I received the highest number of votes in the entire country with 19 157 votes. You can read my Mayoral Program in English here. 

I was elected as Chair of the Helsinki City Council in the summer of 2025.
