As an international student-athlete with a passion for media and communication, I’ve had the privilege of living in three different countries, each shaping my perspective in unique ways. Along the way, I’ve learned to adapt, connect with people from different backgrounds, and communicate across cultures. Mastering two languages has not only expanded my ability to express myself but has also deepened my understanding of how stories and messages resonate with different audiences.
Balancing academics and athletics has been both a challenge and a gift. It has taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of time management. Juggling intense training schedules with coursework has strengthened my ability to work under pressure while staying focused on my goals. More than anything, it has shown me the value of teamwork, leadership, and perseverance—skills that translate far beyond sports.
What truly drives me is my passion for media and storytelling. Whether through writing, speaking, or digital content, I love exploring how narratives shape our understanding of the world. My experiences as both an athlete and a global citizen have given me a unique perspective, and I’m excited to use that to contribute meaningfully to the world of media and communication.
