4H assosiation

Somehow I have been working in three different 4H-organisations. First time during my studies in Hämeenlinna, I teached kids in ceramics club. When I graduated from HAMK i started working in Lahti 4H association as a executive director. During these years I learned a lot, about managing zoo in the city, how to lead 20 employees and many other things. When we moved to Tampere, by accident there was the same position open for maturnity leave. So I was the executive director again.
