What makes you different?

I have grown into an athletic family with whom I started playing golf 12 years ago. I have 9 years of tournament experience in golf both in home country and abroad. Beside golf I have always been interested in other sports such as tennis and gymnastics.

I have lots of energy and willing to work hard and see the success of that. One of my strengths is that I am able to learn quite fast for example the new techniques being asked to perform. So on I am able to correct my technical issues as and when they arise.

I have a healthy and positive attitude towards my personal development, but I also love competing against other players and hearing the sound when the ball goes into the hole. As a team player, I always encourage and support my team mates and make sure the team is feeling good and positive at all times.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I feel that in the US, combining golf and academic studies - while maintaining a high level in both - is possible and it sounds like the best way to spend my university years.

I've already experienced some training weeks in a golf academy (Bishops Gate Golf Academy in Florida) in the US. The academy suited me perfectly - the time management, long training days and overall the experience was encouraging and a lot of fun. I think competing in NCAA college is a breeding ground for professional athletes and it gives great opportunities to play different courses and against really good players.

College Goals?

College for me is all about opening up new doors, meeting new people and achieving new goals. I would like to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing and Management.

Anything else we should know?

I enjoy doing sports. I often have fitness trainings and I like to go running, skiing and play volleyball on my spare time. Sports are part of me and part of my daily routines. Spending time with my family and friends is also important.
