Who is Peppi?

Protecting nature and the environment brought me to the Green party. I grew up in the midst of forest and preventing climate crisis has always been at the core of my political aims. I'm a feminist and mental health themes are important to me on a personal level. Having grown up in a family of agricultural entrepreneurs, I want to secure Finnish food production and security of supply.

I'm currently a municipal councillor and vice member of the board in the city of Espoo, and a councillor in the wellbeing services county of West Uusimaa. Earlier I was chair of the board at the Young Greens of Finland, before which I worked as a consultant in the energy sector. At the moment I'm finishing my studies in the Advanced Energy Solutions master's programme at Aalto University. I have a bachelor's degree in wood processing and I have practical experience working at a paper factory and in dangerous waste facility.

Why I am runing for city council and wellbeing services county council

Work in the municipal and wellbeing services county councils has been extremely meaningful to me, and I'd like to continue working for the people of Espoo and Länsi-Uusimaa!

Important themes to me are nature, climate, equality, mental health, preventive care and cheap public transport.

In Espoo I've worked in the city board, as vice chair of the Corporate Group Subcommittee and as the board’s appointee in the equality committee.

In Länsi-Uusimaa I am the 1st vice chair of the Greens council group and represented Greens in negotiations.
