I have been part of the ICEC since 1994. I have been in management in various different role s since 1995. My background education is that of Kindergarten teacher. I have educated myself further and for many years assessed and verified a UK early years qualification. Most recently I topped up my knowledge in Children’s rights and participation from Jyväskylä University. I have also partcipated in research concerning children’s language development and cultural identit.
I grew up in South London in a multicultural and diverse community but moved back to my birth country Finland in 1987. My own background helps me to understand the development of bilingual and multilingual children.
I love to develop the creativity of children through dance and music. Children’s literature also always inspires me. The importance of these I can never talk enough of.
