Available to hire
I’m Mervi Elina Puurunen, a Finnish professional with a diverse background spanning international business, communications, education, and entrepreneurship. I have built a career around clear communication, learning, and hands-on project management, from teaching and crisis-line volunteering to running a small trading business.
I thrive in multi-cultural environments, speak several languages, and enjoy turning ideas into practical solutions. I’m open to roles in education, content creation, or operational management where I can apply my organizational skills, problem-solving, and people-centric approach.
