Jurate
I do so many things. So, um, I call myself a people on system scientist, and that's, I think, defines me the best, uh, because I.
Everything I do, it evolves around humans. Ever since I remember myself, um, ever since really, little girl, I was always very interested in everything that has to do with humans. I didn't realize at that point, uh, yet, of course, but I just, uh, I just was led by curiosity. I was really, really blessed to have mom.
And parents in general who were really forgiving and allowing me to do that. So, um, so there was not really, Oh, you have to be that, or that's a good profession on others, or, you know, whatever. They had their opinions, but they never really pushed it. Um, so, um, so I always, uh, always sought out things and I was really, really.
Curious as a child as well. I was really studious. Um, so I was going through libraries. I was going to different schools. I was putting myself through the programs and, um, you know, literally because I was looking for more and, uh, everything was united. It's, it's literally, I was interested in physics. I was interested in mathematics.
