Bio
Zhanna Koiviola
It’s hard to imagine a colleague more professional and supportive than Julia. I’ve been working closely with her at Good News from Finland for over 1.5 years now, and it’s been a true pleasure. Julia is great at web content editing, social media management and visual communications, always full of fresh and innovative ideas of how to make things work better. Moreover, Julia has excellent team management skills and can create a relaxed and feel-good work atmosphere while making sure things get done properly and in time. Julia’s staunch professionalism combined with creativity and genuine friendliness is what makes her nice and easy to work with.

I had a great chance working together with Juila. As a supervisor during the Internship period at The Natural Step, she assisted me to develop my knowledge in sustainability and the principles that TNS follows. Her broad knowledge in sustainability consultancy and waste management were reflecting during the analysis of the projects while her visualization skill was helpful to draw a picture of task guidelines as well as in delivering the problem. For me, it was a journey of gaining professional experiences with Julia and I was the evidence of seeing all the skills that are presented in her profile.
