I’m a passionate visual storyteller capturing genuine emotions through photography and film. My work blends creativity, sensitivity, and a deep appreciation for human connection. I love to capture love in photographs and true emotions in videos — creating stories that touch hearts and speak of faith and beauty.
In 2022-2024 I lived in Israel, serving as a content creator and photographer for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). In 2019, I co-hosted a photo exhibition centered on the theme of love. Together with my friend Viktória Krmela, I also co-founded a small video production and podcast project focused on exploring a deep relationship with our Creator, God.
Flexible, fast-learning, and responsible, I thrive both independently and in collaborative environments, always seeking to create meaningful visual stories that inspire and endure.
