What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values language and communication, fostering growth and impact.

I am a social sciences student from Finland with a strong passion for language, communication, and the intersection of technology and humanity. My journey has been shaped by my experiences in advocacy and communications, where I have honed my skills in tailoring messages and engaging diverse audiences in both Finnish and English. I take pride in my ability to make text accurate, fluent, and meaningful, whether it’s through editing or fact-checking AI-generated content.

My background in sales has further enhanced my understanding of how words, tone, and timing influence decision-making. With several years of experience in customer service and direct sales, I have developed strong interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt my communication style to suit various situations. My involvement with the Union of Conscientious Objectors of Finland has deepened my appreciation for the power of language in shaping public perception and driving social change.

As I continue my studies in political science, I am eager to apply my analytical skills and critical thinking to roles that prioritize language and communication. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to work with language-focused AI, where my attention to detail and passion for clarity can contribute to meaningful outcomes.
