Racquetball
I am a professional racquetball player who started playing at the age of 8 — 21 years ago. Every day, I strive to give my best and become a better person. I truly believe that sport is a powerful tool to educate children and teach them important values and life lessons.
The values I’ve learned through sport are the most important things I’ve gained from my professional career. Stay true to your values, and they will guide you in the right direction every time.

I want to help athletes from all sports have equal opportunities and be able to fully enjoy both the World Games qualification process and the Games themselves. It’s important to me that everything is carried out fairly and equally for everyone. The spirit of fair competition should always remain at the heart of events like these.
As a World Games athlete myself, I understand what these Games mean to athletes.
I am running for the IWGA AC to help athletes balance their sports, professional, and personal lives, ensuring they receive the support and recognition they deserve for their achievements.
I want to bring my dual career experience both as an athlete and as a sport manager at the Paralympic Committee, understanding the challenges athletes face and how to support them effectively.
Because I am passionate about improving the athlete experience, ensuring a healthy balance between training, work, and life. I am dedicated to supporting their growth and well-being.
The biggest challenge I’ve faced is balancing work, competitions, and personal life. It requires careful and strict time management and prioritization to maintain performance and well-being.
Sport has always been a part of my life, as both my parents were physical education teachers. I started kickboxing inspired by my older sister, which led me to continue and develop in the sport.
Sport has taught me discipline and perseverance, qualities that have shaped my personality. Besides, my kickboxing team became like a second family to me, providing support and a sense of belonging.
Athlete well-being Opportunities for development Strengthening athletes’ voices
Team player, persistent, reliable.
I am passionate about lifelong learning. I believe, continuous personal and professional growth is essential, and I am always seeking opportunities to learn and improve in all aspects of life.
The athletes’ voice is important to me because they are at the heart of sports. Their experiences, challenges, and needs should be heard to create a more supportive environment for all of us. Furtherm
