Agne Zice – Trustee and ITP Patient

Agne Zice – Trustee and ITP Patient

Agne was born and educated in Lithuania before moving to the UK in 2009 to pursue her university studies. She graduated from City University of London with a degree in Media Studies and Sociology and has since built a career in commercial contract management across various industries. She currently works in the renewable energy sector for an arm’s length government body, supporting the UK’s journey to net zero.

Agne was diagnosed with Chronic ITP in March 2021, which came as a significant and unexpected shock. The ITP Support Association provided her with vital support during that time, making the charity especially close to her heart. Before her diagnosis, she was a regular blood donor in both Lithuania and then the UK. She is passionate about giving back and volunteers with The Felix Project, a charity that rescues surplus food and redistributes it to over 1,200 community organisations across London. She also leads food bank drives in East London in collaboration with her employer.

Outside of work, Agne enjoys yoga, weightlifting, cycling, walks, reading, and spending time in Fuerteventura. As a young Lithuanian female professional, she is proud to contribute to the trustee board and hopes to bring fresh perspectives and energy to the Association.
