She currently studies in 11th grade of the bilingual Hungarian-German program at the Korányi Frigyes Greek Catholic High School and College in Nagykálló, and is the vice-president of the Student Council.

Her interests are wide-ranging, spanning from humanities to sciences. Around the age of ten, she became captivated by the world of chemistry when she was able to perform spectacular experiments during experiential educational lessons. This experience sparked her interest in chemistry. In 2023, as a ninth-grade student, she reached the finals of the GYKTV competition organized by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Debrecen.

She obtained her first language certificate in elementary school and has made significant progress since then. She currently holds an advanced English language certificate and an ÖSD German language certificate. She continues her studies, further strengthening her English and German language skills. She considers language learning important, as she believes that knowledge of languages is essential not only for personal development but also for building international relationships and expanding professional opportunities. She believes in the saying, “The more languages you speak, the more you are.” She particularly enjoys building human connections and has been participating in Erasmus+ projects for almost three years, both domestically and internationally, where she also helps organize the projects.

In addition to chemistry and language learning, she has developed other areas of interest. In 2019, she began working with robotics and programming alongside her brother, and since 2022, she has been a member of the Bánkirobot development team. Her IT knowledge is deeper than average, and she has experience in project documentation, scriptwriting, narration writing, film editing, and poster design. She has basic knowledge of Python programming and the Arduino development environment. In recent years, she has achieved significant success in the Samsung – Solve for Tomorrow competition, as well as in the national competitions of the World Robot Olympiad, where she finished second in the Future Innovator League. At the 33rd National Youth Innovation Olympiad, she reached the second round and received a commendation, while at the 32nd National Conference of Researching Students her project made it to the Carpathian Basin finals. Her third-place award at the 17th Scientific Poster Competition reflects the dedication with which she works to achieve her goals. Based on her placement in the poster competition, she was invited to the 28th National Student Conference, where she was elected Deputy Head of Life and Environmental Sciences Department.

In her free time, she enjoys sports and has been swimming competitively since the age of four, which helped her develop perseverance and discipline early on. Swimming not only strengthened her physically but also improved her mental endurance, as maintaining physical and mental balance is important to her.

I am grateful to the KutDiák organization because the conferences gave me the opportunity to make valuable connections. It was great to be in an environment where everyone was motivated by a common goal: the desire to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. I’ve already had unforgettable experiences, and I hope that as a member of the leadership, I will be able to pass on the same feeling of what it means to be a KutDiák.
