Serious-looking woman with long light brown hair, wearing a black velvet top with a cutout design and pearl-like earrings, grey background.

These studies have helped me to reach planned career milestones and expanded the boundaries of my creativity. I have twice participated and won prizes in the Technorama Innovation Competition. Also, I received the KTU Talent Scholarship. I was inspired by my field of study and my teachers, so I started working in a challenging and contemporary industry. Today I contribute to the growth of the Kaunas industry, working with globally recognised products. This is a meaningful career path.
