Evelin is an author with a passion for storytelling and an entrepreneur with a diverse background. From her role as a peer counselor for parents of autistic children to her experience in biotechnology, Evelin’s journey is a testament to her versatility and resilience.
Evelin began her writing journey following the release of the movie Green Book. It was then that she realized that she was the one who had to put down on paper the fascinating life story of her father-in-law, Jüri Täht, who was a long-time Don Shirley Trio member and unexpectedly found himself portrayed in the Hollywood movie. The film triggered a chain reaction that led her here today. She captured memories of her father-in-law, Jüri Täht, and self-published them. Her writing combines storytelling with facts, complemented by preserved visuals and personal reflections.
