I started playing basketball at the age of 10, when my first coach, Maire Sulg, came to invite the girls to school basketball practice. In youth classes, I represented the Tartu Taba 89 club and in high school, I represented the Audentes Sports Gymnasium women's team.

I moved abroad when I was 19 years old and since then I have played in Germany for a total of 6 years, 2 years in France and 1.5 seasons in Poland. During these seasons I have accumulated championship titles, cup wins and a lot of experience, knowledge and the opportunity to train at a high level every day.

I made my national team debut in the U14 youth team and then went to the European Championships with the U16 and U20 teams. At the age of 18, I got my first caps for the women's national team under coach Jaanus Levkoi and have now been the captain of the team for the last 6 years. Representing the team has always been a great honor and pride for me!

In addition to my sports career, I have always considered activities outside of it important. I have studied hotel management and business management. In addition, I have completed several educational courses both in Estonia and in projects organized by FIBA. For example, FIBA ​​Time-Out, Swish+ and I am currently participating in the FIBA ​​mentoring program. 

For almost 9 years, I worked at the Ivica Mägi Autism School alongside playing basketball, where I had the opportunity to coordinate the organization's activities and later manage their social media. At the Tartu University Sports Club, I help develop girls' and women's basketball with my strength and advice, I organize various events, and I am the main organizer of the international youth tournament Tartu Basket Cup. Self-improvement and creating a network around myself is a very important aspect in my life!
