Meet Saara!

I also read a lot and go to cat shows regularly. My cats have won a lot of prizes!

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

My first language is Finnish, but I also speak English and Swedish. The best way to say hello in Finnish is "Moi!" [pronounced "moy"]

Do you have pets?:

I have three cats, named Patu (Finnish for Patrick), Ollie (short for the Finnish version of Oliver) and Kitku. Ollie is the oldest, and Kitku is the youngest.

We also have a large fish aquarium, which is home to both Cherry Barb and Keyhole Cichlid fish

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I love travelling. I often travel for roller derby, and also to attend cat shows with my prize-winning cats.

This year, I visited Vienna, Austria with Erika to attend a conference. The last trip I took was to northern Sweden, to the city of Luleå.

What do you do for work?:

I am a part time worker at a phone marketing company specializing in selling roof renovations.

I am also a student, and am working on writing my Master's Thesis so that I can graduate with my Master's degree.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

Life is about learning, so keep your minds open to new things, so that you can learn as much as possible.
