From Lithuania to New York City ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡นโžก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Meet Vesta ล pakauskaitฤ—, a BAFF Professional Internship Program participant, who has been making the most of her experience at Protheragen Inc. since October. In just a short time, she has gone from joining client meetings to confidently leading them herselfโ€”gaining firsthand insight into the fast-paced world of business development in pre-clinical research.

Beyond work, Vesta has embraced the full NYC experience: exploring museums, volunteering in Central Park, and even ticking off a โ€œHome Alone 2โ€ dream by seeing the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and Rockettes in person ๐ŸŽ„โœจ

Living with her colleague and building meaningful connections along the way has made her journey even more special. And with a West Coast national parks adventure already on the horizon, her story is just getting started.
