Hi! I’m Piritta, a Master’s level biomedicine student from Kuopio. As I work with recreation in ISYY, you can usually find me wherever something is happening – student events truly have a special place in my heart. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out at Snellmania in our student association room, jogging along the shores of Kuopionlahti, or heating up my oven in my small apartment while baking.

I’m excited to continue in ISYY’s board for a second year! So feel free to come and tap me on the shoulder anytime – whether you want to talk about events or anything else that’s on your mind.

HI, I’m Reetta and I’m studying computer science at Kuopio campus. In my studies I have been doing research about digital and physical accessibility. I’m working as a communicator at the ISYY Executive Board. I love reading books so one can find me at Kuopio campus libraries or in nearby cafes reading books. Old buildings from the 18th and 19th century give me strength and I feel creative around them. You may find me walking nearby Kuopio city library and Snellmann park.
