My name is Katrin. My calling is connected to supporting and helping others – for over 15 years, I have been working in the social sector, providing support to those who need understanding, patience, and a conscious approach. My work has taken me into the social field through direct client work, organizing and conducting trainings, and into the education field as a head of learning and development. I now feel it is time to bring together the knowledge and experience from both sectors. What has been especially close to my heart is working with people with mental health special needs, where I have been able to support both clients and contribute to the development of professionals through training and consultation.
My educational journey was shaped by Tallinn University, where I obtained both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Social Sciences. I have also completed a micro-degree programme in adult education at Tallinn University and hold a Level 7 professional qualification as an adult educator. In addition, I have professional experience as an expert assessing the quality of continuing education and training at the Estonian Quality Agency for Education. I am fluent in English and have conversational proficiency in Russian and Italian. I believe that international experience is an asset in any field. The opportunity to communicate across different cultural contexts and learn from the experiences of others is highly valuable to me—it broadens my perspective while bringing flexibility and creativity to my work. I also consider my experience in project development and implementation to be a significant added value. It has reinforced my belief that international experience enriches every field. Different approaches and the exchange of experiences help create more flexible, meaningful, and effective solutions at the local level as well.
I am characterized by good analytical skills, empathy and the ability to work both in a team and independently. I value systematicity, good communication and effective time planning. Thanks to good digital competence, I am open to new solutions and ready to use modern tools in my daily work.
In my free time, I love to travel, do crafts, and grow blueberries - these are my ways of finding balance, gathering inspiration, and staying connected to nature and myself.
