Edita was born in 1969 in Lithuania. She graduated with distinction from the Lithuanian State Conservatoire in Vilnius. Following graduation, she was appointed to the teaching staff of the Lithuanian State Conservatoire and subsequently became Professor of Piano (solo and accompaniment) and embarked upon a successful teaching career. In addition, her concerts and broadcasts throughout the former USSR enhanced her already outstanding reputation as a performer.

As chief music specialist of the Department of Culture in Lithuania, she organised and directed special musical events and recitals. She has regularly served as a competition adjudicator and received special acknowledgements for her masterclasses across Europe and her outstanding work in developing a curriculum for students at different stages of their piano studies. She has also worked as the Piano Lecturer at the Department of Music, Vilnius Pedagogical Institute.
