Motivation
Translator by training, during my studies and work I have gained a variety of international experience, united by themes of international communication and cooperation. My main tasks and goals have for a long time been to ensure smooth communication and effective cooperation between interested parties, overcoming language and cultural barriers. As a participant of Create Lithuania programme, I hope to be able to apply this experience by contributing to projects related to internationalisation, social integration, and developing other areas of importance to the country‘s future.
I am delighted to have become part of Create Lithuania community, which brings together people from different backgrounds sharing similar values, namely, belief in Lithuania and its future. I hope that by contributing our experience and insights, together we will contribute to the creation of a progressive, community-minded, and sustainable Lithuania.
