I am a social worker by education, I graduated from Tallinn University in 2019.

I have a long working experience in the field of harm reduction - I started working in the field in 2011. Through numerous trainings and self-development opportunities both in Estonia and abroad, I have gradually increased my qualifications and knowledge. I also conduct various trainings on topics related to drugs, drug use and addiction.

I have collaborated with the Institute for Health Development, taking part in numerous studies and projects.

I have collaborated with the Institute of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Tartu, participating in several studies on drug use and drug users. I am co-author of two research articles.

I have been involved in counselling and run a support group for drug users in Tallinn Prison.

Since 2020, I am a member of the Correlation European Harm Reduction Network and the Estonian representative, collecting data and information related to drugs, harm reduction, politics, etc.

For the last couple of years I have been running harm reduction services and I have experience in running the NPO Convictus Estonia.

Based on the forementioned, as well as on my own personal experience, I consider the field of mental healthcare to be a great passion of mine. It is not just a job for me, it is a lifestyle. I believe that people need information and deserve support, and I am always ready to contribute to society.

The words that describe me are cooperation, positive attitude and empathy.

In my free time, I love being in nature and discovering new places. I also think there are not enough books in the world, but I read the ones that are available with great interest.

Working languages: Estonian, Russian and English
