About me
editI am a masters level philosophy student in Paris-Sorbonne and University of Tartu, specializing in Ancient Greek philosophy and phenomenology. I am happily married and have three children. I enjoy literature, music and good company.
Professionally I have been engaged in diverse activities, mostly in the sector of non-profit organizations and I have a vast experience of project writing in this field. Most remarkably I have had various roles in Estonian Guide and Assistant Dog Foundation, from voluntary puppy raiser to guide dog trainer and from board assistant to bookkeeper. I have also gained invaluable experience of voluntary work in Estonia and in France.
I am an ardent supporter of free culture and free knowledge, as well as an inactive user of Estonian Wikipedia since November 2009.
I joined Wikimedia movement in October 2013 when I was hired as a project writer of meta:Wikimedia Eesti. In December 2013 I also started working as the coordinator of the education project of the organization. After the restructuring of the staff of Wikimedia Eesti in Spring 2014 I became the executive director of the chapter on the 1st of July 2014. It is possible to acquaint oneself with the relevant vision and scope document on meta.
