Anton Pratkunas
Short Introduction / About Me
I have higher military education and I am a reserve officer. I also studied in the MA programme in Recreation Management.
I work as a business consultant and run my own e-commerce company. In addition, I am a high school teacher of State Defence, where I support and educate young people.
I run a sports club where we organize sports events, work with volunteers, manage a surf club, and organize kayaking trips. I have strong experience in business and sports event planning and management, project fundraising, and working with clients and partners.
Why I joined Ping Pong Parkinson
I wanted to be part of an international project from the start- a project that helps people and improves their quality of life. I also have many years of experience managing a non-governmental organization (NGO), and Ping Pong Parkinson felt like the right place to use my skills to make a positive impact.
What You Enjoy Most About Being Part of the Team
I like that our team
thinks big and works in a strategic way from the start. We are different people with different skills and backgrounds, which makes a good team and helps us move forward faster. We support each other and work well together.
Any Personal Connection to Parkinson’s or Table Tennis
My grandmother was the leader of a local Parkinson’s NGO, Narva Parkinsoni Selts, for many years. Now I am also working in this field, which feels meaningful and not by chance.
Fun Fact / Personal Touch
