I hold a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Lappeenranta University of Technology, where I specialized in new packaging technologies. During my studies, I worked as a Research Assistant, focusing on laboratory research for making protein-microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) composites, paper making, wet-end chemistry, and various measurement techniques.
My professional journey began with a trainee position at Kemira, where I conducted research on pulp for tissue, dynamic sheet forming, and the physical properties of paper. This experience laid a strong foundation for my career in the paper and pulp industry.
I joined Valmet as a Start-up Engineer, where I was involved in the winder process and start-up operations. Over the years, I progressed to the role of Engineer, Chemical System Designer, and currently, I serve as the Chief Engineer, Chemical System Designer. In these roles, I have been responsible for designing and optimizing chemical systems, ensuring efficient and sustainable processes.
In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, body pump and spinning, doing yoga and watching movies. These activities help me relax and recharge, allowing me to bring fresh perspectives and energy to my work and mentoring.
I have always been passionate about sharing knowledge and helping others grow. Mentoring allows me to give back to the community and support the next generation of engineers. I believe that by sharing my experiences and insights, I can help mentees navigate their career paths, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals.
