Education that Shapes Excellence
My journey began at Semmelweis University, where I delved into the intricate world of Physical Education and Sport Sciences. My specialization in coaching, particularly in water polo, fueled my commitment to understanding the synergy between the mind and body. This foundation, coupled with EQF Level 4 (REPs) accreditation, has paved the way for my comprehensive approach to wellness.
My academic journey included courses in Anatomy of Fitness, Exercise Science, Biochemistry, Communications, Pedagogy, and Sociology, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the intricate facets of human health.
In the past, I had the opportunity to share my journey and passion for health, fitness, and culinary arts in Marie Claire. If you're curious about my story, my experiences, or how I’ve combined these fields to create my programs, you can dive into the full article.

Had an absolute blast at the surf competition recently! But honestly, whether I’m in a comp or just out for a session, surfing is ALL about having fun, being in the moment, and enjoying the ride—no matter the waves.

Take the QuizWhen it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, many people debate whether to work out alone or seek guidance from a personal trainer (PT). In an insightful podcast I recently appeared on, we dive into why choosing a PT can be a game-changer, especially when it comes to making real, lasting progress. Here’s a glimpse into the conversation. Tune into the full episode to hear more about how personal training can transform your fitness journey and help you build healthy habits for life!
Listen NowBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) aligns perfectly with the surfer lifestyle because both emphasize fluidity, adaptability, and body control. In BJJ, you use your body as it was naturally designed, engaging in complex, multidimensional movements that are never the same, much like the unpredictability of the ocean waves in surfing. What I love most about BJJ is the friendly, tight-knit community that mirrors the camaraderie of surfing culture. Every session feels different, challenging me in new ways, just like each wave or roll on the mat. It's an incredible complement to surfing and overall fitness.
Surfing competitions provide a unique opportunity for me to push my limits and embrace the mental challenge. The mix of anxious excitement and the drive to give my absolute best is an experience that fuels my personal growth. Competing forces me to block out distractions, stay focused on my own performance, and face the intensity of the environment head-on. It's more than just a physical test—it's a form of mental sharpening. Much like in regular workouts, you have to step out of your comfort zone if you want to improve, and these competitions give me the perfect space to do just that.
Windsurfing is something deeply rooted in my life, and it all started with my mother teaching me the basics. She passed on her knowledge, which ignited my passion for the sport. Over time, windsurfing evolved from just a hobby to a lifestyle that defines me. I've had the privilege of traveling the world with older surf buddies, experiencing the vastness of the sea and ocean, and witnessing the beauty of nature firsthand. This sport is where my love for extreme sports comes from, as it continues to push me beyond my limits while connecting me with the natural world.
