Rafaela Palmroth

I am an enthusiastic, energetic, and a highly motivated business school student, with a strong work ethic and a love for fashion. I am completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Helsinki School of Business. I'm dedicated to developing my professional skills and contribute to business success, and I always strive to provide the best possible results in any given work. I'm especially interested in widening my knowledge and experiences in the fashion and luxury industry.

I'm a former Finnish national team member for Disco Dance. During the ages 8-17 I competed both, on a national level in Finnish championships, as well as on an international level in Nordic- and World championships, and smaller country specific competitions. During this time our team won the Finnish National Championships, and I've also been awarded multiple silver and bronze medals. In addition to providing me with great skills on managing schedules, stress and multiple sport and school related responsibilities at the same time, it has also contributed to my strong work ethic, resilience and high motivation, as I strive to always give my best. Thus, my dance career has supported my development into a person who understands the importance that quality-, team work, communications, and individual work ethic hold in being able to reach business goals successfully and support a great company culture.

A letter of recommendation from Dr. Martin Desmaras available upon request.

• Stipend for earning the highest grade in psychology in the matriculation examination.
• Gold medalist and a Finnish Champion in the year 2018, together with our Disco Dance formation.
• Gold, silver- and bronze medals in both, national and international competitions.

I hold fashion, traveling and the different forms of art, very close to my heart. In my free time, I'm highly invested in widening my knowledge of the fashion industry and combining it with my business skills, as well as learning about the possibilities that social media can create for brands. In addition, through traveling and therefore, getting the opportunity to experience different cultures and meet new people, I have gained both, great cooperation skills and a love for continuous learning. Through art, I enjoy gaining new and versatile experiences, as I feel that they also support personal growth and diverse thinking.
