Future

I’m still at the beginning of my journey as a paratriathlete. The road ahead is long, but my direction is clear. Step by step, I’m working to become stronger in swimming, cycling and running and to grow, not just as an athlete, but as a person.

The goal we’re working toward? That’s to stand on field focused, determined and grateful for every step that led us there. Because what once seemed impossible is now coming closer, bit by bit. Not to prove that anything must be done, but to show that far more is possible than many believe.

​

At the same time, I hope this journey becomes about more than just performance. I want to show that a disability isn’t the end of the road, but a new beginning. A different starting line, one filled with potential, strength and growth. If I can encourage even one young person, with or without a disability, to believe in themselves and push beyond their limits, then that already means the world to me.

In the coming years, I want to keep challenging myself, gain more international experience, and learn from the best in the world. Maybe one day, even swim across the English Channel. With the support of my coach, my team, and my partners, I truly believe we can build something meaningful together.​​

​

I’ll keep dreaming, working hard and staying true to myself.

Because with passion, patience and the right people around me, almost anything feels possible.
