I was born in Latvia, and when I was 12 I moved to Italy. I received a Bachelor’s degree from the Polytechnic University of Turin with a degree in energy engineering in 2020. I am currently a second-year Master’s student in the Energy Systems track at Skoltech and a visiting MIT student at MITEI.  I am working with a small team called EVAline to help couples that are in a long-distance relationship. Our value is to provide nearness, contact, and enhance closeness for these types of couples. The main issues that couples in an LDR experience are: lack of physical intimacy, difficulty to maintain an emotional connection, miscommunication and arguments. Our goal is to help our future customers overcome these issues. Our idea is to develop an innovative vibrator, bite, and app that will overall enhance the physical and emotional experience for our customers.
