edit data

I was raised up in a small village in Hungary.

On my way towards my childhood dreams to become an engineer, I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 21.
My only choice was to face with death.

Finally, I graduated in 2018 at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) as an engineer.

My disease and commitment inspired me to interconnect my engineer job with healthcare: by going on with my studies, I obtained master degree at the biomedical engineer programme of BME and Semmelweis University.

I am currently pursuing long-distance running at a competition level as an athlete in Budapest, Hungary.

Believe, Live, Run | Blog - Transient hypofrontality

📕| “The flow-experience while running is likely due to the exercise-induced transient hypofrontality. At these times, we forget ourselves, the passing of time, our self-criticism, even our sense of pain decreases. This is why it is possible to run faster on a long-distance than we ever thought we could when in a state of flow. We are hardly aware of what is going on around us in such a state, like Read more of this blog post »
