Motivation
I believe in Lithuania and the possibility to contribute to its sustainable and value-based development at the public sector. Having gained work and study experience in different types of organizations and countries, I am happy with the opportunity to return and contribute to change together with the Create Lithuania programme and a motivated team of like-minded people. Based on my experience in social science studies and research, I will strive to involve citizens in decision-making and enable them to co-create when implementing projects.
