Katra Kozinc

Katra is the newest member of the Aspira team.

For the past 15 years, she has been deeply involved in the world of youth work – first as a participant, later as a youth leader, and eventually as a youth worker. Through these experiences, she has gained a deep understanding of what high-quality youth work entails, and she is committed to ensuring the highest standards in her own practice.

No matter where she has worked, her responsibilities have always included managing social media and writing articles and content. Writing and creative expression are among the things that ignite her creativity the most. However, she still finds it challenging at times to translate her ideas into words in the most authentic and meaningful way.

Her creative side also shines through in her involvement with Mladinsko gledališče Svoboda Trbovlje (Youth Theatre Svoboda Trbovlje), where she currently works more behind the scenes. In her free time, she dedicates most of her energy to her two enthusiastic young children.

Within the team, Katra enjoys creating a positive atmosphere, fostering team bonding outside the office, and bringing plenty of laughter into the workplace.
