Background

About Minka Alanko

In early 2018, just a few months after finishing high school in 2017, I took off to Germany for an adventure. Surprisingly, I landed a job there within a week of contacting my future employer. Working with horses abroad was a dream come true for me. Even though living and working in a foreign country without knowing the language had its tough moments, it's been one of the best experiences of my life.Getting praised by pros in the field for doing what I love was really cool. In Germany, where I had just a few colleagues but they were great, one of them joked when I left,"I don't know how I'll cope without you; I'm not as good at organizing and assigning tasks like you are."I think of myself as hardworking and smart, qualities that people notice more once they get to know me better. It might not be obvious to those who've only met me briefly – that's kind of a Finnish thing, valuing actions over boasting.Being honest is important to me, so I'll admit I had a bit of help from AI to write this text quickly. Let's connect and explore the opportunities ahead!
