Descrição

I grew up on a small farm in Finland, helping with potatoes and cattle while my dad ran a kennel raising hunting dogs. As a teenager I cared for race horses and learned early the rhythm of seasons, teamwork, and hands-on work.
During my corporate years I never lost that connection to simple living. I volunteered at a rescue farm and even scrubbed toilets at a national park just to stay grounded.
After 20 successful years at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I bring experience that is useful in community life. I spent years handling clients and employees, managing complex projects, and traveling extensively across Europe and the Middle East. I understand people, communication, and business, and that helps me adapt quickly, organize tasks efficiently, and bring calm, professional energy to any environment.
Now I have chosen a different kind of adventure: living simply, contributing to meaningful projects, and sharing life with people from different cultures. I eat clean, live light, and love helping others feel strong and well. I will be in Latin America during 2025 and 2026, learning Spanish, sharing wellness activities, and supporting projects that value health, creativity, and authentic community.

Quais são suas habilidades?

I’m not afraid of hard work and I enjoy being part of a community. During high school I worked on a cattle farm, and in college I worked in high-end restaurants, so I know both physical labor and professional hospitality. Later, I spent two decades at Hewlett Packard Enterprise doing business planning, fund management, and customer-facing sales, while volunteering at farms, guesthouses, and community projects.

Since leaving corporate life, I’ve built a simple lifestyle around health, movement, and helping others feel good in their bodies.
As a certified personal trainer, I can lead fitness and wellness activities my host and their guests:
- Spine health & posture sessions
- Core, glutes, or HIIT workouts
- Guided meditations (mainstream or Osho style)
- Weight loss & nutrition coaching for joint health
- Personality or mindset workshops using the 16 Personalities tool

I’m fluent in Finnish and English, currently learning Spanish. I’m reliable, friendly, and easy to work with, whether organizing community events, teaching a class, or simply helping with everyday tasks.

Practical skills I bring:
- Fitness & wellness instruction
- Guest interaction & hospitality
- Gardening, farm work, and housework
- Event setup, coordination, and creative workshops
- Driver’s license (also experienced in off-road driving)
- Organized, responsible, and self-managing with 20+ years of career in a Silicon Valley based IT company

Algo mais...

I love deep conversations but also find peace in solitude and silence. I have practiced meditation for many years, including a 10-day Vipassana retreat and two stays at Osho retreat in Pune. I love Stoic philosophers Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. Writing is one of my favorite ways to reflect.
I naturally connect with children, especially a bit older ones, and "Aunty Anna" is the highest and most meaningful title I have ever earned.
Fitness and wellbeing are a big part of my life. I love sharing spine-health routines, strength and mobility workouts, and guided meditations with others. I also enjoy introducing people to personality analysis using the 16 Personalities / MBTI framework, it often leads to fun and meaningful conversations about self-awareness and relationships.
For fun, I love gym, running, scuba- and freediving, archery, off-road driving, horse riding, and spending time outdoors.
My superpower is getting things done. At Hewlett Packard Enterprise I was rated “Exceeds Expectations” for 18 years in a row from 17 different managers / bosses.
Since leaving corporate life, I have found joy in living simply, eating clean, and contributing wherever I go. I look for opportunities where I can be useful, learn something new, and share daily life with people who value authenticity.
