My dad is half English and half Irish, mom is Finnish. I was born in the UK and my family moved to Finland when I was 10.<\/p>\n<h4>What is your Occupation?<\/h4>\n<p>Marketing &amp; Event Co-Coordinator, promo model<\/p>\n<h4>What are you currently working on?<\/h4>\n<p>I\u2019m currently working on a couple of Fashion events with Nygard fashion. The founder, Peter Nygard, is from Finland too. I also just secured a new sponsor who\u2019ll be working with me in the Fall.<\/p>\n<h4>How long have you been a Eurocircle member?<\/h4>\n<p>For 5 years, since I came to New York<\/p>\n<h4>When did you start the Arctic Circle of Finns?<\/h4>\n<p>Three years ago.<\/p>\n<h4>What kind of events do you plan through the group?<\/h4>\n<p>So far we have arranged gallery openings, fashion events and shows, jazz concerts, charity fundraisers, and happy hours. The majority of our members are Finns or friends of Finland.<\/p>\n<h4>How did you get into event planning?<\/h4>\n<p>I worked in the travel industry for years. I was also contracted as a charter flight coordinator for NASCAR, which gave me great experience. When I moved to New York I started working in the financial sector, but was constantly asked to help out with events. I started volunteering and organizing fundraisers. Eventually I started Arctic Circle Finns of NY and moved into the marketing department of the same company I had worked for since moving to NY.<\/p>\n<h4>Where are you based?<\/h4>\n<p>New York City<\/p>\n<h4>What\u2019s it like being where you are from?<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s funny because when people hear my last name and see what I look like they never think I\u2019m Finnish! Finland is such a unique place that I\u2019m really proud to be from from there. I\u2019m also so grateful that I get to be a part of the Finnish community in New York and share my culture with others.<\/p>\n<h4>What fun things do you like to do in New York when not organizing events?<\/h4>\n<p>I live in NJ with my family. With 2 dogs and 2 kids we don\u2019t have a lot of spare time. We love going to the beach, traveling, and trying out different restaurants.<\/p>\n<h4>Where can we find about the Arctic Circle Finns of NY<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/arcticcirclefinnsofnewyork.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/arcticcirclefinnsofnewyork.blogspot.com\/<\/a>,<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/#%21\/groups\/124831687541899\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/#!\/groups\/124831687541899\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our April 2013 member of the month is Kristina Ann Cammereri \u2013 Co-Founder of the Arctic Circle Finns of New York \u2013 who has a very mixed European background.
