I have a strong academic and professional background in the maritime field. I graduated from the Latvian Maritime Academy with a Bachelor’s degree in Ship Navigation and later obtained a Professional Master’s degree in Maritime Transport – Management Engineering. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Transport at Riga Technical University, focusing on maritime innovation and environmental protection.
Before joining academia full-time, I spent six years at the State Environmental Service of Latvia as a project manager. Today, I serve as the Head of Innovation Strategy at the RTU Latvian Maritime Academy, and also involved in lecturing, supervising student research, and driving forward national and international cooperation in maritime education and science. I am proud that I can be a part of the team and work as Project Manager Assistant at the International Transport Development Association (ITDA), supporting collaboration across the Baltic Sea region and beyond.
