In 2026, I successfully received my Bachelor’s degree in Food Engineering from the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences. It was quite an unbelievable feeling to reach the end of my studies and finally hold my diploma in my hands. It fills me with pride to have reached this milestone in my life.
I would not have been able to walk this path without the Foundation. The countless extra classes, language development, support for the language exam, and the ECDL exam all contributed to the successful acquisition of my first degree.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Erika Csányi and Dr. Sándor Csányi for establishing such an unparalleled Foundation and for allowing me to be a part of it. I would especially like to thank Dr. Miklós Radoszáv, the Chief Operating Officer of the Csányi Foundation, for supporting me on my journey and for the opportunity to apply my knowledge in practice as an intern at Bonafarm. Last but not least, I also owe thanks to my mentors, Gergő and Dávid, as well as the other mentors from Mohács, Erika and Annamária, as I could always count on their help.
Fortunately, my time with the Foundation is not over yet. Currently, I am continuing my studies in the Food Safety and Quality Master’s program at MATE, and I will continue to do my best to support and help my younger peers, as well as to somehow give back a portion of all that I have received over the past 12 years.
