Until I was around 9 years old, I enjoyed a joyful and educational childhood in a small village in Italy. I tried nearly every possible kind of sport, appreciated the time growing up with my grandparents and made lifelong friends.

It was then when my brother started playing Basketball that I first came in touch with this sport. I loved it and quickly realized that I had found something worth investing more time and energy in. Shortly after joining the Team in a slightly larger townlet not far from home, my brother and I already had bigger dreams. We wanted to spend the rest of our youth growing up in a place that offered us a future, and soon we moved to Munich, Germany. Thanks to our parents, whom we are deeply grateful to for leaving everything behind and overcoming all challenges with us, we both found a spot in school as well as in sports. We started our journey at FC Bayern Basketball and for 10 years I dedicated everything I had to improve and achiev more ... a time that taught me many valuable life lessons and to which I owe a lot.

After I passed my A-levels, I decided to put my focus on my promising athletic career. However, after a series of injuries and the outbreak of COVID-19, I made the decision to leave this humbling time behind me and shift my focus towards other pursuits. Today, I've completed my Bachelor degree in Computer Science and Sociology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) and am currently enrolled in a Master's program in Management at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
