Profession? I am an entrepreneur in the beauty industry.

I am trained e.g. as a make-up artist and fashion marketing professional, always working while studying. I have always been ambitious and eager to learn something new, which is why I have found it the most suitable way to study alongside my work and thus constantly develop my skills. Entrepreneurship, with all its opportunities and challenges, has proven to be the most natural way to work.
Previous racing experience? Is not. The Miss Finland competition is the first competition I have participated in and I also brewed this decision for a long time. Although the dream and the state of mind have always been present, I only left for the race when I felt mentally ready for the challenges it brought, and confident and mature enough to represent myself, the Miss Finland organization and Finland on the big and important issues.

This year, too, the semi-finalists, as well as the competitors reaching the finals, will have the opportunity to do important work in the spirit of the charity campaign. Each mission chooses a site that is relevant to it, and implements a successful and load-bearing project around it.
The More than Beauty Academy training week for semifinalists includes lectures, exercises and activities organized by a number of iron professionals, which broadly reinforce the candidates’ self-knowledge, as well as the certainty of performance.
During the busy week, the series On the Way to Finland will be filmed, hosted by the reigning Miss Finland, Essi Unkuri.
On the way to Miss Finland, the five-part series will start in week 33 on AlfaTV.
The Miss Finland 2022 final gala will be broadcast live on AlfaTV on September 17.
