Professional Skills

Philosophy

Sara approaches her work with determination and believes that a clear target, a focused approach, and a touch of sisu go a long way. Her background in gymnastics has shaped her mindset around taking initiative, always striving to improve, and being able to pause and celebrate achievements along the way. The best results come when quality and positive energy go hand in hand.

Outside of work, Sara finds energy in Trib3 workouts and relaxes through travel. Discovering new places inspires her and brings fresh perspectives to everyday life.
