Early life
Born in Juuka, Pakarinen spent her youth with her parents who live in a big, old school with one dog, cats and chickens. A self-described shy person, Pakarinen says she has become a more confident woman during her participation in Miss Suomi.
In 2009, Pakarinen moved to Joensuu and enjoys cooking, exercising in the gym and outdoor activities. She dated professional footballer Niko Väyrynen for three years and in early 2012, her relationship with Niko ended.
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 March 5, 2011, where she became the eventual winner of the title, gaining the right to represent Finland in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, to be broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011. Pakarinen resigned from the duties of Miss Finland on national TV broadcast on September 16, 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. After her decision Eino Makunen announced that the new Miss Finland 2011 was Sara Sieppi.
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.
