Sports have always played an essential part in his life, as he believes that maintaining mental and physical health and keeping them in balance is extremely important.

I am incredibly grateful to be a part of KutDiák. The community is amazing. Everyone has their own field in which they are fully immersed and they boast an incredible amount of knowledge and information. The conversations I’ve had on KutDiák events and the camp in Káptalanfüred were extremely valuable to me. It shocked me how easily and fast I could resonate and connect to people there, it felt like I’ve known them for years, and I believe that is one of the greatest gifts KutDiák gives, that you really do find your place here. I can proudly say that I am a part of a community where I can truly be myself and I can grow, this is exactly why I want to bring the best out of myself, and as a part the leadership team I’d like to bring the best out of others too.
