ROLE MODEL
In 2020 she was chosen as a Lithuanian ambassador for the Barbie International Role Model project. The initiative aims to inspire girls and help them break free from stereotypes to achieve their goals. "I am very happy to be part of this project. Being able to tell others about myself proves that I have already achieved a great deal in terms of achieving my goals and dreams. Athletics has taught me things that are not usually taught in schools such as perseverance or determination and now is the time to share my experience and inspire the younger generation. I will try to be the best example possible for children who can relate to me and grow up not only as great athletes but also as good people." (alfa.lt, 09 Mar 2020)
