Hi! I'm Jaki, a fourth-year BIZ student. During my years as an active KY member, I have volunteered in many ways — mostly in different clubs and, this year, in the Tutor Committee. Through these roles, I have gotten to know KY better and better, and at the same time, my desire to influence KY itself has grown stronger. That is why I am now running in the KY Representative Council election!
What sets me apart from other candidates is my strong interdisciplinary experience. I have been active in many parts of Otaniemi and understand well the perspectives of different groups outside KY. I have always wanted KY to be more integrated into the Otaniemi community, and I’m happy to see real progress on that front. However, while I strongly support cooperation with other students in Otaniemi, I also believe KY must not lose its unique character and spirit. KY has a rich history and proud traditions, and those should be maintained even as we build stronger ties with the broader community.
The coming years will be exciting in many ways. Most notably, the new KY Building will bring big changes for all BIZ students. RepCo will play an important role in shaping KY’s direction during this time, and I would be thrilled to be a part of it. With my diverse experience, I am confident I could bring real value to RepCo.
