“I am from Vilnius (Lithuania) and lived there before moving to Alicante to join the EUIPO. Being the capital, Vilnius is a very vibrant city that offers a rich cultural life and diverse gastronomic experiences. It also has one of the biggest old towns in Eastern Europe. 
I joined the EUIPO as a trade mark examiner in 2007. In 2012 I was appointed head of decisions sector within one of the services of the Operations Department. Since 2015 I’m part of the litigation team which is in charge of defending EUIPO’s decisions before the Court of Justice of the European Union.
My regular working day consists of preparing procedural documents for the Court of Justice of the European Union and researching its case-law. In addition, I often travel to Luxembourg to participate in oral hearings.  
A career at the EUIPO appealed to me for various reasons. Already when studying law, I had a particular interest in intellectual property. Moreover, I really enjoy working in a multicultural environment and I am a true believer in the purpose of the European Union. Last, but not least, Alicante offers a great quality of life, especially when you have a family with children.”
