About Me

I am communicative, socially active and open to new ideas and discussion. I like to learn new skills and step outside of my comfort zone.

In the future I want to work in event management, communication and culture field. I have had experience in management, for example, by leading a student council of 40 people, making events and providing enjoyable and nice study and free time environment. Working in The Cultural Department of Jēkabpils gave me experience in event management, as well as leadership of volunteers and communication skills.
