Motivation
I left Lithuania with an enthusiasm and desire to explore, learn and create a better world. At that time Lithuania seemed too small. The twists and turns of my academic and professional life took me to Armenia, Italy and Hungary. I did not save the world, but I gained valuable experience and knowledge.
I always knew that I would return to Lithuania sooner or later. That is why I am very happy that the Create Lithuania programme gave me the opportunity to apply my experience and knowledge in the Lithuanian public sector. I believe that progressive ideas and projects will contribute not only to the growth of the Lithuanian economy, but most importantly, to the creation of social welfare.
