What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute research, project coordination, and cross-cultural communication skills to mission-driven work in human rights, public policy, sustainable development, or nonprofit programs.

I've supported transparency, anti-corruption, and public-sector accountability work at Transparency International Lithuania, where I coordinated the week-long Transparency School 2026 and created organizational resources.

At Cuso International, I conducted qualitative interviews with staff, volunteers, and partners working across developing countries and Indigenous communities in Canada. I also researched international funding opportunities and sustainable development programs, contributing interview insights to strategy and outreach materials.

My work with Katimavik Youth Services and La Scena Musicale Magazine has centred on program logistics, fundraising, grant writing, event coordination, and accurate information management. I enjoy working across cultures and bringing structure to fast-paced nonprofit projects.

I'm completing an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's in Euroculture through the University of Strasbourg and the University of Uppsala, with research focused on human rights, LGBTQ+ migration, European policy, and gender discourse. My research experience includes qualitative and quantitative methods using NVivo, SPSS, and Zotero.

My career interests span the nonprofit and private sectors, looking towards conducting research or project coordination to create meaningful change in the world.
