I attended a senior school specialising in French. At this stage I had to stop my gymnast career as my studies were more important. I went to university In Switzerland in Lausanne at age of 18, where I completed my first degree as a French teacher.

I came back to Budapest at age of 24. I started to work in a pharmaceutical company as a sales assistant and at the same time I started my postgraduate degree as an economist specialising in marketing communication. When I finished my second degree, I’ve was employed as a PR Manager of Renault Trucks Hungary.

Then, I was offered the opportunity to take over Ferrari and Maserati sales and Marketing in Hungary. It was a new brand in Hungary in 2000.Working with such an amazing company was a great experience. From 2004, I worked at Rolls-Royce in London as a New Business Manager. Another fantastic position, with an impressive product range.

After having my first baby girl in 2008, I changed careers. I couldn’t continue in the luxury car business as it involved too much travelling, business lunches, dinners, test drives, factory visits, etc. So, my hobby turned into my profession.

I’ve qualified as a Personal Trainer Level 3, a Pilates instructor level 3, a golf specialist CHECK Institute UK, and an insanity instructor licenced by Beach Body USA.

In the UK, I’ve worked as a fitness instructor and PT at Wentworth Golf club, at Royal Holloway University of London, and I managed my own studio in our house.
I still love what I’m doing, helping people to get fit and start a balanced healthy lifestyle. I’m running a training program in the 2nd district on weekday mornings from 9am all in English.
 
My passion has turned into my profession. I have a beautiful family with my husband Massimo, who is from Milan, and my beautiful girls Grace and Laetitia.
