Miss Finland 2011

Pakarinen, who stands 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) tall, competed as one of 10 finalists in her country's national beauty pageant, Miss Finland 2011 broadcast live by MTV3 on 5 March 2011,[3] where she became the eventual winner of the title,[4] gaining the right to represent Finland in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, to be broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on 12 September 2011.[5] Pakarinen resigned from the duties of Miss Finland on national TV broadcast on 16 September 2011. This was due to differences of opinions with Finnartist Oy and especially Eino Makunen. Pakarinen felt she was left all alone and wasn't supported in a professional manner.[6] After her decision Eino Makunen announced that the new Miss Finland 2011 was Sara Sieppi.[7]

Pakarinen has changed her name to her mother's maiden name Lamberg. In 2013 she was a cast member in an American television series SAF3.[8]
