Bio
Amin M.
It has been a pleasure working with Agnes who has been a great friend and co-worker. Agnes has excellent communication, interpersonal skills and inspiring personality. Agnes and I were teammates at the Series1 program where we came up alternative platform for Finnish inefficient job search platforms, which we were rewarded for our solution. Agnes led our data collection section, along with the public relations. Her data-centric approach, transparent leadership, and ability to lead from the front inspired the team and our startup to deliver more. Agnes is an ideal colleague to brainstorm and make fairytales to come true.

Agnes was in our choir for two years. She was a well-rounded, passionate drama teacher with a strong network in the profession. She was in charge of an annual musical production on her own: script writing, music arrangement, class teaching, props preparing, costume ordering, and lighting and stage designing. She was impressive, especially in her focus in improvised acting, and our students surely enjoyed her lessons and learned to express themselves in innovative ways. Her professional teaching skills, pleasant personalities, and responsible attitude are certainly welcomed at any educational institution.
