Advocacy, Economic Justice Activism

Olivia Kumpula is an Advocate with years of working experience in Litigation, Company law, Criminal law, Private law, and Real Estate law in Nigeria. She also holds a Master of International and Comparative Law degree from the University of Lapland in Finland, with specialization in Transcultural Business Law.

As one of the vibrant voices in the international community in Finland, she actively works to ensure the successful transition of newcomers into the Finnish society and workforce. She advocates for an unbiased access to work opportunities for international talents in Finland and the setting up of systematic mechanics to ease their socio-economic integration process.

Olivia is the Founder of International Professionals Finland, a non profit registered association that provides customised guidance and creates collaborative opportunities for International Professionals to establish and use their skills in Finland. Through a diverse range of programs and services, they assist international professionals qualified for a profession abroad to overcome obstacles hindering them from utilizing their skills in Finland. 

She also founded the Finns&Foreigners club on Clubhouse, an inclusive platform for meaningful discussions on diverse topics relating to life in Finland, an atmosphere to relax and network, and practice rooms for those learning Finnish language.

My Finland Story digital creations

Olivia moved to Finland several years ago as a student and since then she has fallen in love with the country and the lovely nature. At the time of her move, there was very limited information online about life in Finland for Foreigners. So she started a Blog and a YouTube Channel named “My Finland Story” (MFS for short), where she shares about her journey, experiences and helpful tips for newcomers, thereby amassing a good amount of following over the years.

As a Digital Creator, Olivia creates content that aims to look at Life in Finland especially from the eyes of a Foreigner already living in Finland, making it easier for new comers to relate and get tips to make their settling in process easier.
