I believe collaboration within teams to use each other’s different skillset is the key to success, that is why I joined HUBS. In our team, I develop Marketing skills and provide partnerships for collaborations, and arrange different events.

Studying Bachelor’s Science and Engineering. As part of the Growth Hacker-team, I would love to help other students find the joy and wonder that I discovered when participating HUBS’s courses!
As a Growth Hacker, I am developing my teamwork and networking skills, in addition to so much more, such as event production, sales, marketing, negotiation and budgeting skills.

Growth Hacker
The best thing in life is throwing yourself into different situations and challenges. This is how I ended up being a part of HUBS as well. I’m studying for a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering in Hervanta, so the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship and working with people bring a nice change to everyday life.
