Bio
Mikko Metsämäki
I’ve worked with Eva for several years at Kauppalehti. One time I noticed that she was having a lively discussion with one of our cleaning ladies - in an unknown language. It was Amharic, a language I had never heard of. This tells a lot about Eva: She is a polyglot and really nice, social person. She is also a hard working lady who is great at digging data and processing that to any form.
Dagmar Spantzel
Since having moved to Helsinki in 2014 I have been in dealings with Eva several times. She has shown genuine interest in German-Finnish business relations and the work we as the German-Finnish Chamber of Commerce do to promote these relations. She has written various articles about Finnish-German topics, many times inspired by us but always from her own viewpoint. Eva's fluent German has made it easy for us to communicate. She is open, competent, trustworthy and a wonderful person.

When the Finnish International Broadcasting Service of Broadcasting Company Yle restarted its service in German language I was there to translate news from English and Finnish sources and edit them and other radio programs into presentable German.
