Member of the board and chairman of Wasail

  • Ida Uosukainen

As a member of the board for the University of Vaasa's sailing club, I have been responsible for organizing large-scale events for hundreds of students, as well as coordinating smaller events throughout the year.

This role has honed my skills in project management, event planning, and team coordination. For example, I’ve overseen logistics, budgets, and schedules to ensure seamless execution, often under tight deadlines.

Additionally, I have designed and coordinated our board’s merchandise, such as custom hoodies, managed our social media presence, and served as one of the visual leads to maintain consistent branding. During one semester, I also held the role of chairperson, which strengthened my leadership skills and ability to guide a team toward shared goals. These responsibilities have taught me to think strategically, adapt quickly, and effectively communicate within teams—skills that are directly transferable to dynamic professional environments
