International affairs
Working with international partners, understanding different perspectives and helping move cooperation from conversation to something concrete.

Ideas are better
when they travel.
I work across international affairs, policy, communications and relationships — usually somewhere between a complicated issue and the people who need to make sense of it.
01 / About
I like complicated subjects, good questions and making both a little easier to understand.
My work has taken me through diplomacy, international cooperation, policy and strategic communication. I enjoy the parts that sit between countries, institutions and people: understanding different interests, finding common ground and turning a lot of information into something useful.
I am particularly interested in the Baltic and Nordic region, transatlantic relations, international partnerships and the practical side of building relationships across borders.
I also think most meetings could safely be 20 minutes shorter. I remain open to evidence to the contrary.
02 / What I do
Policy & strategy
Making sense of complex policy questions, connecting the bigger picture with practical decisions and keeping an eye on what happens next.
Stakeholder relations
Bringing together people from government, business and international organisations — and finding a way for everyone to leave the room feeling heard.
Strategic communication
Clear messages, careful context and communication that sounds like an actual human being wrote it.
03 / Background
International by nature.
Practical by habit.
Experience
Diplomatic & international work
Experience working with international relations, government counterparts, foreign missions and cross-border cooperation.
Focus
Latvia · Europe · North America
Particular interest in transatlantic relations, the Baltic region, Canada and the wider European policy environment.
Approach
Curious, structured, human
I like knowing the details without losing sight of the bigger picture — and I prefer a useful answer to a very impressive-sounding one.
04 / Notes
Things I am thinking about.
This is where I plan to collect occasional notes on international affairs, policy, Latvia and the world around us. No grand publishing schedule. Just things worth thinking about.
Coming soon
The first note is currently being overthought.
05 / Contact
Let's talk.
For professional enquiries, international projects, speaking opportunities or just a good idea that deserves a conversation.
