Expertise and professional focus:
She earned her bachelor's degree in linguistics from Vilnius University, where she later worked as a science communication officer. Her job involved writing about the latest discoveries by the University's scientists, such as gene editing technology, published in the top scientific journals.
Working in this position allowed Eglė to deepen her knowledge of medical science and human health, as well as master translating complex science concepts into a language that is easy to understand for people without a scientific background.
For five years, Eglė worked as a foreign news reporter at 15min.lt, one of the leading Lithuanian media outlets, where she acquired a comprehensive knowledge of global politics and international organizations. Extensive traveling and meeting with the most vulnerable individuals inspired her to focus on human rights issues and aim to make the powerful accountable.

"Practice what you preach" is Eglė's motto; that's why she leads an active lifestyle that involves constantly trying new sports, with fitboxing being her latest passion. Journalistic curiosity makes her experiment with herself to gain a better understanding of wellness tricks and hacks — don't be surprised if she tells you about her digital detox or innovative ways to cut sugar.
In her free time, Eglė loves reading books, attending concerts and exhibitions, and taking long walks in the forests. She is on the never-ending journey of learning French.
