My name is Elina, and I’m a proud double alumna of LUT University, having graduated in both Business Administration and Industrial Engineering and Management. Additionally, I’ve completed studies in Career Guidance at the University of Eastern Finland.
I began my career in the private sector, but for over 20 years now, I’ve been working at LUT. My journey started in Continuous Education, and in the last eight years, I’ve focused on Career Services and Alumni Relations. Supporting our students in building a smooth transition into working life is something I’m deeply passionate about.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of being mentored, and I know firsthand how empowering that experience can be. These moments have inspired me to give back and support others in their own journeys. From my mentee, I hope to see curiosity in exploring their career path, along with a genuine willingness to grow and work toward their goals.
Outside of work, I’m a mother of three teenagers, enjoying life in the countryside with my husband and our dogs.
