Personal Profile:
Our family has a long history of taking the intellectual course, in the form of studies abroad and taking an active role in public life and affairs. From a young age I took positions of active leadership in the scouting movement and in the Rákóczi cultural and historical movement.
My passion for literature really began to develop when I started high school, currently I write poetry and prose, my first volume of poetry was published in 2005, and my second work is in the preparation stage.
During my studies up to date, I have read philosophy, theology and art history at Hungarian and German universities, recently I have put the emphasis on researching utopianism, I have published essays and wrote a Ph.D. thesis on this topic.
I come from a family with a history in the sport of tennis, my cousin, Ágnes Szávay is currently ranked 28th in the WTA rankings. In my free time I like to do regular and active sport, I trained and perfected my knowledge of Doshinkan Karate for 6 years.
