About Me

LABAS! My name is Emilija and I’m from Lithuania. I am a Business & Management major, an athlete and I study in the United States. I left my country to study and play basketball in the United States when I was 18. Traveling through different countries and studying far away from my home has taught me how to adapt to change, resilience, open-mindedness and creativeness. I love challenges and problem solving. I consider myself a great leader, team-player, and honest person.

Enjoy looking around and feel free to get in touch with me through my LinkedIn and chat more. I aim to carry a mindset of a student at all times. This way I won’t miss the chance to learn something new.
