About

I'm analytical by nature, but I keep ending up in front of people.

I study Economics and Finance at the Institute of Economic Studies in Prague. It started when I was 13: during COVID I began listening to business podcasts and got hooked on how money works and moves.

Chairing a parliament, captaining a team, building an event from scratch. That's the combination I want to keep: understanding the numbers, and leading the people behind them.

Beyond the CV

What I do outside of school and work, and what each of these has taught me.

My favourite hobby is people.

I enjoy leading a group, being the host and creating events where everyone has a good time. That's how GymParty, a school party for 200+ guests, came about: not as a duty, but because I genuinely enjoy it.

What started as a hobby turned into some of my most valuable experience.

  • Leading
  • Hosting
  • Organising

Ice hockey

Fifteen years on the ice

I played ice hockey as a defender from the age of 4 until 19, and became captain of my team. Hockey taught me to show up every day, to push through when it gets hard, and to take responsibility for the people around me.

Art & hiking

Art

Shaping something by hand is the opposite of a spreadsheet.

I attended art school from the age of 4 until 18, and ceramics was always my go-to. I mostly made cities and buildings in clay. It rewards patience, intuition and attention to the smallest detail.

Hiking

Time in nature.

Hiking is how I switch off and recharge, usually in the peaks and forests near my hometown. A long day outside, away from screens and with a clear goal at the top, is the best way I know to clear my head.

  • Endurance
  • Perspective
  • Balance
