Although you and your family are originally from another part of the world, you currently reside in Australia. Give us a brief overview of your past.
Although I was born in Switzerland, I was only there for six months of my life. Dad was born there too, but he moved to Australia when he was around six years old. Mum had lived there her entire life.
After growing up in Australia, my dad attended university in Switzerland where he pursued his studies and hotel management training. It was there that he met my mother.
How did you get involved and when did you first come to STK Academy?
I was only a second-year STK Academy student this year. I was scouted out of the SMFJL (Southern Metro Junior Football League) after initially just following up on an expression of interest.
After one match against Essendon’s Academy, we were introduced to STK Academy and eventually accepted into the programme as I was about to enter my U16 year.
That is essentially it!After being unable to travel for three years due to COVID, we returned to Switzerland during the winter break earlier this year
