I’m a political commentator and donor communications specialist with a simple passion: people.
Following that passion, I’ve explored the topics of conflict and development in academic settings, studied languages, worked with NGOs in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas, and have made a conscious decision to always keep myself on the path of learning and unlearning.
My areas of expertise include forced migration, Palestine, South American politics, and US foreign policy.
I have gained most of my donor communications experience as a team member of CODEPINK, a U.S. feminist anti-war organisation, and Health in Harmony, an international NGO that does anticolonial work in the area of planetary health to reverse tropical rainforest deforestation.
I speak Lithuanian, English, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish, and could have a (rather unengaging) conversation in a couple of more languages.
Nowadays, you can find me in Brazil, Colombia, or my hometown in Lithuania.
If you are wondering about my formal education, I received my BA in Political Science and Film Studies from Gettysburg College (USA) and my MA degree in Political Science from Central European University (Hungary).
You can see a full list of my academic and work experience on my LinkedIn page.
My other major project is Investigative Selfism, a platform on mindfulness, psychology, personal development, and trauma.
If you have a media inquiry or a collaboration project in mind, please do get in touch – I’d be excited to chat with you!
