How did I get here?

I could start by listing the schools I have attended and the projects I have worked on, but you can check all that on LinkedIn after just 2 seconds of searching, and it wouldn't tell you who I am anyway. Just like everyone else, I am a strange combination of how I was brought up, what I've experienced, and even the people I've gotten along with over the years.

​

I'll spare you the details for now, but I am grateful for all the opportunities that have allowed me to try different things along the way. Years ago, I left my home and moved to the capital of Hungary. My family trusted that I would be able to learn everything needed to make life happen. At some points, I doubted it, but guess what? It really happened. I've had the chance to teach at a university, worked on bigger projects than I ever imagined, and even gained the trust of many colleagues who turned to me for support and leadership.

​

I've dedicated lots of hours to my career, sacrificing a lot of time and social connections in doing so. While that brought many positive achievements, in the end lead up to a burn-out. Looking back, it was silly. I was fighting monsters that I believed were there. As it turned out the only enemy I had all along was me. So, I accepted the fact that I need to understand more about myself and accept that I need to change to truly be 'myself'.

​

My journey took me to a place where I can now confidently say:

I am walking my own path.
