Motivation
As a Global Lithuanian from New Zealand, I’ve always felt a connection to the country as part of my identity. Now I’m excited to have an opportunity to contribute to its growth. My previous working experience has shown me it’s possible to use my technical skills in many areas and types of projects. Currently, I’m exploring career pathways that can contribute to a better future in different ways, and the Public Sector is a leading choice for social impact. I’m looking forward to building a professional network and learning more about local issues in Lithuania.
