More details about your skills

My work experience consists of youth work, in which I painted park benches and houses, did lots of yard work, helped tidy up an old mansion for a charity event. I have volunteered at both domestic and international biathlon races, I double checked if athletes did their penalty circles and also worked at the shooting range operation booth. At the moment, I am working at a restaurant as a server and I have gained knowledge about etiquette, food and wine pairings and serving skills.

What else ...

I have always been a very actice person, I love hiking and playing sports outside. Also I have competitively done downhill skiing and dancing as well. Music also a huge part of my life, I enjoy singing in a choir, playing the accordion and the piano and dancing folk dances. I like playing board games with my friends and family, my favourite is definitely an Estonian game called “Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu” (“A man who knew snake tounge”). I enjoy making food for myself and I like baking, the fruits of my labor I send for my friends to try:). During quiet times and long journeys I enjoy reading.
