I am a 49-year-old man from Rovaniemi. I currently work as a combination vehicle driver on the route between Kemi and Sodankylä.

I am highly motivated to challenge myself and always willing to learn something new.

Before my current job, I worked for more than 12 years at the Kittilä mine. I worked underground in a variety of production roles, which gave me a broad range of experience.

My main responsibility was loading production material into dump trucks or directly into the ore pass. I also carried out remote loading when several production areas were operating at the same time, allowing one operator to control multiple machines simultaneously.

In addition, I worked as a production driller and raise driller. When needed, I also operated underground dump trucks and haul trucks.

I was also a member of the mine rescue team.
