Veronika Kima-Zeile
I am a half Korean born in Riga, a patriot of Latvia, a cook, an advocate for active lifestyle and healthy nutrition, active golf supporter and possibly the only independent caddy person in the whole Latvian community.
I am and IT professional with IT Bachelor’s and MBA Master’s degrees, as well as a certified Pilates and yoga trainer. All of the above is reflected in my perception of life and my style of cooking and exercise (i.e. yoga and Pilates). Yes, I like diversity, I like to experiment, I adore movement and change, and I stand for support, help and giving to others!

Mostly I worked in (and later managed) international projects (in cooperation with Norway and Sweden), as well as the largest government contract projects (ERAF). Now I continue working in the IT industry, simultaneously developing projects in other areas, as well as coaching Pilates and yoga individually.
