Motivation
I am passionate about public health and sustainability, and I am excited to join the Create Lithuania program to explore these fields in the public sector. Having grown up in the United States with Lithuanian roots, this program offers me a unique opportunity to reconnect with my heritage and contribute to my family’s homeland for the first time. I look forward to applying my skills and working with others to address key challenges and contribute to Lithuania’s growth.
