Bio
Petra Pieskä
I have both studied and worked with Roope on multiple different projects. He has contacts and friends from different Finnish political parties and during the past year we have connected more due to the link between student politics and the National Coalition Party. He is a talented networker and a good friend, which is the reason why he has such a large network surpassing party limits. Olen sekä opiskellut että työskennellyt Roopen kanssa erilaisisten projektien merkeissä. Hänellä on kontakteja yli puoluerajojen, ja kuluneen vuoden aikana on ollut erityisen antoista toimia hänen kanssaan opiskelijapolitiikan ja kokoomuslaisuuden yhteyskohdassa. Roope on osaava verkostoituja ja antoisaa seuraa, joka on syy hänen laajalle verkostolleen sekä sitoutumattomissa että puoluetoiminnassa.
Aliisa Toivanen
Extremely determined is the word that comes to my mind when I think of Roope. His passion for politics and improving the education system is unlike any other. Roope is an extremely driven, systematic and professional worker. What is more, as a team member he’s an active listener who treats others with a caring and supportive manner.
