Hi! I'm Karoliina, a passionate journalist currently studying at the University of Tartu. I’ve been working as a journalist and media contributor for the past few years, and during this time I’ve become deeply involved in the media world, not only as a writer, but also as a content creator. I have experience producing articles, videos, and social media content for different platforms, and I actively manage and develop social media channels myself. I follow digital trends closely, understand how audiences consume content today, and enjoy experimenting with formats that actually engage people, especially young audiences. When I'm not busy writing or editing videos, you'll find me exploring new places and cultures :)
