I am a mentor for the Jászság Group 4. I have been living in Jászárokszállás since my birth, I graduated from the Deák Ferenc High School in Jászárokszállás in 2012. After that I continued my studies in Jászberény at the Jászberény Campus of Eszterházy Károly College. In 2016 I graduated in social work, in 2018 I graduated as a kindergarten teacher, and in 2021 I completed the master’s degree in social pedagogy, also as a part-time student.

After my first degree I worked as a family support worker at the Family and Child Welfare Centre in Jászberény for 7 years. In this field, I worked primarily with children at risk and their families in order to reduce and, where possible, eliminate the vulnerability of children. In the Jászberény Family and Child Welfare Centre, we organised summer day camps for disadvantaged children every year, and I was actively involved in the successful implementation of these camps every year.

During my higher education I was fascinated by the science of sociology, and I was fond of sociological studies and research, and my theses were also based on sociology. My first publication was published in the framework of the cross-border research of the Drávaszög and Szlavónia College of the Lakitelek Folk High School. Later, I did archival research on the history of kindergartens in Jászság, and I also did a study on the Neszűr area of Jászberény, where I investigated the segregated nature of the settlement in the suburban part. I have also had the opportunity to publish some or all of these studies. At present I am researching the past of the Jászárokszáll angling association, which will be based on archival research.

Sport plays an important role in my life, I played handball for 15 years in the women’s handball team of the VSE Jászárokszállási in the first division of the county. My current hobby is running, and I also enjoy competing in amateur running races. I have been a member of the Jászárokszállás Klímatechnikai Fishing Association for 9 years, and have been its secretary for a year.

Currently I see my future as a mentor, I see a great opportunity in the Foundation to support children who are talented but through no fault of their own are growing up in disadvantaged families. I see a huge opportunity for children to learn foreign languages and IT skills, and also to be part of an accepting and supportive community where they feel comfortable and supported in their leisure time.
