A: I love being with my family and friends and in general around people. I like doing sports, like jogging, going to the gym and wall-climbing. Even though I like to be on the move all the time, sometimes it is relaxing to grab a paintbrush and just start to paint and let my mind fly. I also like culture, especially going to museums and art exhibitions.
Q: What is your career ambition?
A: I want to be as good as possible in my career; I started to study orthotics and prosthetics last year at the polytechnic of Helsinki.
Q: Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
A: I was raised in a little village called Soini in Ostrobothnia. The village is really small, only about 2600 people live there, so I had a chance to live my childhood in peace without any rush to grow up. I have the greatest parents who kept limits, but still let me test myself. I also have one big brother, who has always been my role model. In a nutshell I had a warm home and loving parents.
Q: What do you want the judges to know about you?
A: I am a really genuine and open-minded person. I really try to think positively; if you wake up with a smile, it really carries you on through the difficult times and the difficult moments. I want to be happy, healthy and to live with all my family and friends near me. I want to have as many new experiences as possible, and this competition is one of the biggest ones.
