2013 Skills FootagePersonal Statement
The main goal, the one that I have always had in mind, is to pursue a good quality education that will provide many opportunities for me in the future. At university I look to further expand and develop the foundation that I have already built so far. I aim to do this mainly by enhancing my social and academic skills, and based on my very strong academic results up to now I would continue to be a very disciplined student athlete. This would allow me to obtain a bachelors degree, masters degree and potentially a doctoral degree, as well as building an international network by meeting many different people.
Furthermore, having always lived in multiple parts of the world, and being able to speak five languages, I consider myself a world citizen and see my future in a truly global environment. In this environment I hope to encounter a number of challenges and adventures in which I will be able to work with many different people from different backgrounds who strive to achieve the best together.
The combination of playing sports, soccer in particular, and studying hard has worked well for me in the past and therefore is the ideal combination to achieve my goals.
Please contact me through my e-mail address or on the following phone number: +41 78 873 3043 which is different from the information given on my profile because I live in Switzerland.
