Mariam Sutidze-Haveri, Georgia

Warm greetings everyone!

I am Mariam from Georgia (საქართველო). That simple! Actually, some five years ago when I moved to Finland I always introduced myself like I-AM-THE-ONLY-GEORGIAN unconsciously trying to point up my feeling of loneliness. But this is different life now! I feel happy!!! I have great family my number one value, I have numerous friends, amazing job, quite life but of great adventures, everyday safety. This is Finland for me!

By profession I am a teacher, musical actress, journalist, and educational leader. These are all on my degree certificates. But my experience is rather extensive. I have worked with various universities in over 20 counties, I was in all types of media for 12 years, I worked as a teacher and an artist and I’ve been working with international talents and immigrants in Finland.

Tampere because…

It is the city with its strength in depth to create lots of chances for everyone!

Trust me because…

I have my own story! I moved to Tampere with no single Finnish word! I got B2 certificate in 10 months and got my first job in Finnish. Since then, I have been working on various positions. I am now working my dream job at Tampere University!

Tampere is a fantasy place because…

The only thing to get to where you need is to know what you want and to be ready to move forward with your goals. You are always given opportunities along the way! Failures are allowed and bigger dreams are encouraged.

This is Tampere!
