• The leader of the Estonian storytelling movement and of the School of Fairy Tales
• Storyteller
• Adult educator
• Specialist of oral heritage at the Estonian Folk Culture Centre

I first started telling stories in 1991 during an adult education course. This was the very beginning of the School of Fairy Tales and of the storytelling movement in Estonia. The School of Fairy Tales involves courses, seminars, lectures, summer camps, concerts, storytelling evenings and books of traditional stories – all this to attract and encourage adults to listen to and to tell stories again.
