Education

  • Ongoing Euroforester MSc programme at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
  • Forestry BSc at Vytautas Magnus University

Experience

  • Internships in forestry companies both in private and public sectors in Lithuania – Skogssällskapet and the State Forest Enterprise.
  • One year at Girion.lt doing landscape architecture studies and its implementation ensuring a close- to- nature approach, featuring local plant species and reuse of natural elements.
  • One year as a forestry consultant/manager at the Lithuanian agriculture advisory service

Motivation

As I was gathering knowledge studying forestry in Lithuania, as well as widening my scope internationally at Euroforester MSc programme in Sweden and later in my professional experience, I always had many ideas about what should be done in Lithuanian forestry, agriculture and environmental protection sectors. I feel like I have a duty to share my knowledge. As soon as I found out about the Create Lithuania programme, I immediately understood that it is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity to not only share my knowledge but to actually employ it to implement projects with visible effect.
