I work as a warehouse worker at Kesko Oyj's logistics center in Kempele. My tasks include receiving goods, dispatching goods, and tracking shipments. Additionally, before starting my studies, I worked as a team leader, where I was responsible for creating work schedules and supervising employees. I am still employed at Kesko, but currently, my contract is for zero hours, meaning I work when called in.

I work as an interpreter for Finnish Interpreting Services Ltd. My job is to interpret for all Finnish authorities, such as the police, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela), the Finnish Immigration Service, etc. Due to the COVID-19 situation, most interpretations have had to be conducted remotely either via telephone interpretation or through various applications.

I served as a military interpreter in the OIR operation within a Finnish training unit. My duties included interpreting infantry training sessions, attending various meetings related to upcoming tasks, and handling various procurement tasks. I also trained the local army units.

I work as a military interpreter in a crisis management operation in a Finnish battalion in southern Lebanon. My tasks include patrolling, collaborating with local authorities, establishing relationships with locals, and attending various meetings with key personnel.
