Introduction

I was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, but thanks to my father I have African roots (Congo-Brazzaville) as well, which I am really proud of. I am currently participating in the Hungarian Diplomatic Training Program of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary to become a future diplomat. Over the years I have tried to build a distinguished double career in the field of public service and sports. My professional journey includes military service as a professional athlete within the Hungarian Defence Forces. Besides that, I also gained diplomatic experience through the UN Shadowing Programme and Youth Leader Programme of the Hungarian Olympic Committee. Academically, I hold an MPA degree specializing in European and International Administration and a BA degree in International Administration. I have also completed two years of a sport coaching course. I have a good command of English and French and a basic knowledge of Spanish.
