She began competing in judo in 2000. (baku2015.com, 28 Jun 2015)
:
"My mum always said how nice I tumbled, so she wanted me to do ballet. Anyway, since I was a kid, I loved sports, I felt really good when I was active and doing something. I tried a lot of sports, judo came in elementary school, mostly thanks to my brother, who was a year older. After my godmother sewed his judogi, it became evident that I wanted one too. My goal was to be a professional athlete, but I also practised athletics, football, handball, and even ski racing, so I couldn't decide at the time. Then at age nine my parents encouraged my brother to take me to a judo club, so I was caught in the middle, but I had a good time and I got stuck there." (index.hu, 30 Nov 2020)

General Interest

General
OCCUPATION
In 2017 she began serving in the sports squadron of the Hungarian Defence Forces. "The Hungarian Defence Forces has been offering a dual career programme for elite athletes, which can be dealt with even after active years, and I wanted to try myself in this role, and I really liked it. I also have plans, but I still can't imagine myself outside of sports." (index.hu, 30 Nov 2020; szoljon.hu, 26 Nov 2020)

AMBASSADOR
She was an ambassador of judo at the 2017 European Youth Olympic Festival [EYOF] in Gyor, Hungary. "It was a great honour to be an ambassador and represent my sport. The EYOF is a real milestone for young athletes, where they can first experience the big dream, which is the Olympic Games. As a competitor in Italy in 2005, I remember deciding to become an Olympic champion there." (wellandfit.hu, 28 Aug 2017)
