Born in 2010, I am a positive and outgoing racer who had my first contact with karting at the age of 3,5. I learned the sport in the club meetings at Kankaanpää UA and I also had my first racing experiences in the Western Finland Cup in 2017. The "real life" racing started with Cadet in 2018.  

  

My goal is to drive karting in a relaxed but constantly improving way. To go as far in motorsport as my skills and other resources allow. I wouldn't mind being involved in such a great sport in some way as an adult. The whole family is enthusiastic and the hobby has also brought a lot of good friends. The sport also teaches resilience and the ability to deal with disappointment. Of course, those successes help you to keep going.

  

The 2022 season will be filled with Rotax MiniMax and  Mini60 Finnish Championship races. The rest of my time will be spent with hockey, skiing, e-motorsport (@foracer) and cocker spaniel Senna.
