SPORTS

In 2018, I met my soulmate: Volleyball. From that moment on, I have made volleyball the center of my life, letting it be my North Star, guiding me to new places, including Australia. I had the privilege of spectating at the 2024 Paris Olympics, snapping some shots at the legendary beach volleyball stadium, the indoor volleyball arena, and the beautiful sport climbing venue. I have also captured moments at AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) tournaments and VNL (Volleyball Nations League) matches as well as local volleyball tournaments. My other love is rock climbing, which I discovered in 2022 while living in France.

Rock Climbing

"To be a professional volleyball player was my dream, so I have nothing to be sad about. I am very lucky! It is even possible that my positive attitude is the key to my success, because physically I am OK for a libero, but I am not very good technically. However, because I am happy to play, I always give my maximum, I push my team and I enjoy playing volleyball just like I did when I was a kid – I haven’t changed."
