Hello,

I am a Latvian investigative journalist based in Estonia and a co-founder of the Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism Re:Baltica, with more than 20 years of professional experience.

Over the past decade, my work has focused primarily on disinformation, propaganda, information manipulation, and Russian influence operations, both in Latvia and internationally. I am a member of the ICIJ and OCCRP and have contributed to cross-border investigations into corruption, money laundering, and foreign interference.

My latest investigations

My recent investigative work has focused on Kremlin-linked influence and sabotage operations in Europe, including collaborations with the independent Russian outlet The Insider and regional partners.

Among the latest investigations:


What I work on 

  • Disinformation, propaganda, and information manipulation

  • Russian influence operations and hybrid threats

  • Media literacy and critical thinking

  • Social media algorithms and emotional influence

  • Information verification and decision-making under uncertainty

Lectures & workshops

Alongside my journalistic work, I deliver critical thinking lectures and workshops for organizations, municipalities, and international audiences.

These sessions focus on practical skills: identifying manipulation and disinformation, understanding how social media and new technologies shape perception, and learning how to respond to false or misleading information in professional contexts.

Lectures are available in English and Latvian, both in-person and online.

Beyond journalism

In parallel to investigative reporting, I actively explore new formats for reaching audiences beyond traditional media.

This includes:

  • writing a book on perimenopause and menopause,

  • hosting a podcast,

  • and building an engaged Instagram community focused on women’s health.

These projects are both personal and professional. They allow me to experiment with how journalistic principles can be applied to new platforms and communities. I see this work as an ongoing experiment of traditional journalism and digital content creation.
