Motivation
I’ve always been curious to see and experience how foreign countries live. I started participating in various international projects when I was at school: in Year 10 and Year 12, I went to study in Germany through a school exchange programme; during my undergraduate studies, I was a guest at the University of Bremen; and during my postgraduate studies, I went to the Netherlands and Ukraine through projects. After my undergraduate studies, I founded a company mainly in the Netherlands, taking a gap year between my studies.
I was always active. I graduated from the school as its president, stayed on for another 4 years after the school as the head of the extracurricular activities group, during my undergraduate years I was a member of the student representation and a faculty representative, I was a member of the NGO “Liberal Youth of Lithuania”, and during my postgraduate years I started to be involved in political organisations and then I started to work as a freelancer.
I am an active person, I never sit still, I like to communicate and create. These personal traits and experiences are probably what led me to the “Create Lithuania” programme.
I have always created, am creating and will continue to create for Lithuania, no matter where I am or what I do.
