Who am I?

Being a professional athlete is one thing, but in my opinion, it combines many more parts than it seems. Being successful is not just winning competitions... Especially for me, it is important to grow as a person and integrate the different parts of my life to tell a bigger story.

I grew up in a really sporty family with a lot of traveling in a camper in search of perfect spots for my outdoor activities, which is why I entered most of my sports at an early age. I tried many different activities at a young age and since then my main passions are the sea and mountains. Kitesurfing is certainly my main sport, but time in the mountains always gives me a new push for the next season on the water and keeps me balanced as an athlete. All my sports constantly force me to adapt, whether it is to different terrain, conditions, or equipment, so I continue to get better every day.

Outside of sports, I am finishing my Bachelor degree in "international management" this year. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to get a good education and be living my dream as an athlete, and will give me more opportunities in the future.

If you would like to know more about me, I am always open to further conversation!
