I enjoy communicating with people from different cultures and backgrounds and ages, so traveling is a great way to do that. I am energertic, swift, full of ideas and ways to make them come to life. I am also one of those people who are seeking for perfection, trying to strive to overcome any limitations and challenge myself in different situations.

Facts

  • Favourite Zalgiris player. Mantas Kalnietis and Martynas Pocius
  • The most memorable game. The first Euroleague Basketball game in the begining of the 2014/15 season: „Zalgiris“ won against „Nizhny Novgorod“ at the sold out arena.
  • The most memorable situation during the game. Robertas Javtokas stoped the whole team and allowed me to walk through the door first, telling the players, why they were rushing? And that the girls should always be the first ones to enter throught the door.
  • The maximum number of times you had to change your outfit in one game. Never actually had a chance to count, but I believe that at least 8 times.
  • The best thing about being Zalgiris cheerleader. Strong, ambitious and friendly team, who would always support each other on and off the court. As well as the opportunity to watch „Zalgiris“ home games from the ‘’court-side’’.
  • Why Zalgiris? „Zalgiris“ is one of the rare things that unites this city. No matter the political views or the kind of job you have, once you come to Zalgiris Arena, you are Zalgiris fan. I am supporting the team since I was a little girl, it would either be in the old arena or on TV, so when I grew-up I remained loyal to my team.
  • Zalgiris associates with. High emotions
  • If I wouldn’t be a cheerleader for Zalgiris… I would be the mascot!! For real I would probably be playing football or voleyball.
