Sanna is a passionate agile advocate who believes that most problems stem from—and can be solved through—communication. Since graduating, she has worked in the IT sector, focusing on agile and Scrum methodologies since 2017. To make communication more effective and engaging, she began incorporating improvisation techniques into training, workshops, and meetings. Combined with her decade-long fascination with understanding human behavior, this creates the perfect recipe for her approach. She loves blending different approaches, always exploring what it means to be more human in the process.
Sanna currently lives in Vienna, Austria.
Sanna on intohimoinen ketterien menetelmien puolestapuhuja, joka uskoo, että suurin osa ongelmista johtuu viestinnästä – ja viestinnän olevan myös ratkaisu. Tampereen teknillisestä yliopistosta valmistumisensa jälkeen hän on työskennellyt IT-alalla, keskittyen ketteriin ja Scrum-menetelmiin vuodesta 2017 lähtien. Tehdäkseen viestinnästä tehokkaampaa ja innostavampaa hän alkoi hyödyntää improvisaatiotekniikoita koulutuksissa, työpajoissa ja kokouksissa. Vuosikymmenten mittainen kiinnostus ihmisten ymmärtämisestä muodostaa vakaan pohjan humaanille lähestymistavalle. Sanna rakastaa ja eri menetelmien yhdistämistä ja tutkii jatkuvasti, mitä tarkoittaa olla aidosti inhimillinen.
Kaikki sessiot ovat saatavilla myös suomeksi. Tällä hetkellä Sanna asuu Itävallassa.
Sanna ist eine leidenschaftliche Verfechterin agiler Methoden und glaubt, dass die meisten Probleme durch Kommunikation entstehen – und sich auch durch sie lösen lassen. Seit ihrem Abschluss arbeitet sie in der IT-Branche und beschäftigt sich seit 2017 mit agilen Methoden und Scrum. Um Kommunikation wirkungsvoller und ansprechender zu gestalten, begann sie, Improvisationstechniken in Schulungen, Workshops und Meetings einzubauen. In Kombination mit ihrer jahrelangen Faszination für menschliches Verhalten ergibt sich daraus das perfekte Rezept für ihren Ansatz. Sie liebt es, verschiedene Methoden zu verbinden und erforscht dabei stets, was es bedeutet, menschlicher zu sein.
Sanna lebt derzeit in Wien, Österreich, und arbeitet intensiv daran, ein professionelles Sprachniveau in Deutsch zu erreichen.
