Ulla Ristkari-Ryynänen

I had the pleasure of working with Mervi amidst communication and public relations related matters and also in the field of social media and marketing. Mervi is a very supportive and hard-working person. She really knows how to encourage others and helps you believe in yourself. She has " the drive" and she is always eager to develop and perfect her skills.

Matti Hämäläinen

By describing Mervi as business professional only by three words, I my mind those are; trustworthy, punctual and filled with entrepreneurship.I would recruit her to similar kind of challenges any day and I can recommend you to do the same.
