My name is Amanda, I was born in South Africa to English parents and grew up in the leafy, southern countryside of Buckinghamshire, England. Although I have a Polish surname, I am yet to visit my Polish grandfather’s homeland! By the time I was a teenager I had visited all 5 continents in the world and knew how lucky I was to have the opportunity to travel and be exposed to a variety of different cultures. Knowing what it’s like to be an alien in the world, I was always the kid in school to welcome the new or foreign pupil! And here I am at Luckan doing the exact same thing!
I have recently joined the Luckan Integration team as the new Cirkeln Coordinator, a project that I feel passionately about. I love connecting the right people together, helping to cultivate new and valuable relationships. This is something I have done throughout my life both personally and professionally.
I will also be supporting some marketing tasks and hosting events that we organise here at Luckan.
Prior to joining Luckan, I spent over 20 years as a professional actress, marketing assistant and event manager; social roles surrounded by all sorts of personalities! I met my Finlandssvensk husband whilst performing onboard Viking Line and thus moved to Finland nearly 3 years ago. Often I would need to connect the right people for each job. I hope this will serve my clients well when selecting suitable candidates for their social circle.
The Luckan team here is a cosy bunch and always happy to help each other out. It’s a creative, melting pot of ideas and a thriving hub of constant development in order to best serve the community. I’m delighted to join the team and work alongside them.
I would like to build on making Cirkeln a fun and easy way for people to make new connections, with the potential to harness meaningful relationships. I’m excited to continue developing the project to give as many people as possible the chance to extend their network and make the capital region really feel like home.
