What I'm looking for

I seek full-time roles in media, translation, or analysis in Tallinn or internationally, valuing collaborative teams, precise terminology work, and opportunities to deepen policy and technical expertise.

I am a political scientist (MA) with international experience across media, translation, and analysis, focused on delivering accurate, terminology-consistent translations and clear, well-researched reporting.

I have worked at the European Parliament, in journalism, and on international IT projects, where I translated political, legal and technical texts and contributed to terminology databases like IATE.

My experience includes content moderation for social platforms, subtitle translation, technical documentation for IT and railway sectors, and research assistance at a policy think tank—each role sharpening my information management and data-processing skills.

I speak multiple languages (Estonian, English, Finnish, Russian, French, Spanish), am comfortable in international teams, and am seeking media, translation, or analytical roles with opportunities for international work and professional growth.
