By birth I'm a mixture of two biggest islands in Estonia – Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. However I grew up sharing my time between the islands and Tallinn. So partly I grew up in a farm, where mornings started by going to the barn. We grew our own food on the fields and our days consisted of making folk costumes, from weaving the cloth to stitching pearl embroideries on the side pockets. And while living in the capital of Estonia, I spent 12 years doing what I liked the most – dancing.

I love to witness how theatre and film industries are developing to unimaginable heights. And as an actress I love to be part of it, because to me these industries are all about people getting together and cooperating.  I like finding myself outside of my comfort zone because one can never know where it might lead them. I never take stuff light-handedly – once started… then to the infinity and beyond (- Buzz Lightyear)! This is why I agreed on participating in my classmate’s practical schoolwork - making a musical and it led us to establishing the first (amateur) musical theatre of Estonia in 2013  – Estonian Youth Musical Theatre.

I started learning acting and theatre in 2015. Four years at University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy was exactly the rollercoaster that life should be – hand in hand with tragedy and comedy. Those two muses from Greek mythology led me through drama school, so I “christened” them into θαλιμἒνεἶ. I also learned the fact that absolutely everything is possible and learnable. Thus my slogan: “If there is no way, there is still a way”.

I have one more passion and that’s history. Which made me into a tour guide at the Old Town of Tallinn in my spare time. Giving tours is like performing stand-ups, it’s awesome!
