Jag hade glädjen att samarbeta med Samuli när vi satt i styrelse för Sverigefinska ungdomsförbundet. Under sin tid i styrelse visade Samuli engagemang för att stärka finska kulturens ställning i Sverige och han engagerade sig särkilt i att skapa olika typer av mötesplatser för ungdomar med finsk bakgrund. Under sin tid i styrelse, bidrog Samuli med värdefulla perspektiv och förslag om hur förbundets arbete kunde bli mer inkluderande samt om hur verksamheten kunde nå ut till en bredare målgrupp.

I rollen som På plats intervjuare visade Samuli stort engagemang. Han genomförde arbetsuppgifterna noggrant och var mycket pålitlig. Vi var mer än nöjda med Samulis arbetsinsats och trivdes bra med honom som kollega på Enkätfabriken!
