Professional highlights

Continuous learning and growth. I am curious by nature and always eager to expand my knowledge. I regularly take part in professional training and discussions to stay up to date with developments in the legal field. I have also gained valuable international experience – studying international environmental law at Roma Tre University and attending the EU Environmental Law Conference in Trier.

Practical experience and challenges. My team placed in the top three in the Estonian Moot Court Competition. The experience sharpened my analytical thinking and gave me insight into litigation strategies. We had to tackle complex legal issues under time pressure and present our positions clearly and persuasively, backed by strong arguments. This improved my presentation skills and gave me a deeper understanding of the practical side of legal work.

Teamwork and collaboration. I value working closely with colleagues and building strong professional relationships. During my time as an active member of the Estonian Law Students’ Union, I helped organise events and discussions, strengthening both my teamwork and leadership skills. I have also mentored young people in the Changemakers Academy, sharing my experience and helping them bring their ideas to life.
