Buyer for Valmet Technologies via Adecco Oy ! ✨I have a BA in English (linguistics), and I’ve previously worked as a translator and an office assistant. I’ve also helped out at events like congresses, and have worked with a tight schedule to plan and organize a small-scale cultural event. This varied background stems from my wide range of interests, and as a result I have skills and knowledge from different fields: for example in regards to FIN-ENG translation, I have previously worked with finances/IT terminology as well as a little bit of metal industry vocabulary.I also have experience of working at an office in such tasks as invoicing customers, and making work orders and updating the inventory in the company's EAM system. Thanks to my studies at the university and a couple of jobs especially, I have got experience in working with projects of different scales and in different roles. I have been told I have what it takes to take on more challenging roles in management, as I can quickly develop a good understanding of 'the bigger picture' in projects - what needs to be done and when.My interests include video games, internet linguistics (specifically word formation processes and use of emoji), artificial intelligence & cyber security (though my knowledge is yet quite limited), social media, literature, photography, and military matters. I'm also writing stories, and have a plan for about a dozen. 4 stories have their first drafts done, 3 of which have advanced to the 2nd draft stage, and the 5th story is almost finished!

Project AssociateSuomen Nuorisoseurat - Finnish Youth Association Oct 2020 - Nov 2020Jyväskylä, West And Inner Finland, FinlandPlanning & organizing a small-scale event for a work experiment project called Leipää ja kulttuuria ('Bread and Culture'). The event was based on the European Heritage Days' theme 'Heritage & Education'. In about 1,5 months, we planned and organized a small light-themed event for the Youth Association of Kuohu, which is near Jyväskylä in Central Finland. All of us were involved in planning the event as well as setting up the venue (the town house of Kuohu) and other practical tasks. My own tasks included writing down notes (the 'frames' for the project), planning & scheduling our social media strategy, managing the project's Instagram account, and writing our briefing (tiedote) which was used for marketing the event. During the event itself I worked at the infodesk, where I mostly guided guests and helped visitors take photographs with a polaroid camera.During this experience I learned a lot about team-work and the importance of communication between team members, as well as a lot about event planning and organizing from a different perspective than I had had before. I also learned new skills, and also rediscovered skills and know-how that had been in hiding. My team members and instructors have given me excellent, encouraging feedback that I have excellent organizing skills, good sense of 'the big picture', and I've also been encouraged to aim higher than assistant positions - in other words, according to their feedback, I have qualities and capability for leadership and management. -
