Motivation
I have always enjoyed seeking out opportunities to deepen my existing skills, learn new ones, and apply my knowledge where I can make a meaningful contribution.
Having lived abroad for the past few years, while keeping up with the news from Lithuania and returning regularly, I have witnessed the country’s growth with admiration and pride. At the same time, I have developed a strong desire to get to know modern-day Lithuania better and be part of its continued progress.
Having now returned to live in Lithuania, I chose to join the Kurk Lietuvai programme. I believe in its mission and see it as a unique opportunity to put my experience to good use, continue learning and growing alongside Lithuania, and help shape its future while working with colleagues from such diverse backgrounds.
