Summary

As a two-time Olympic athlete, I have had the privilege of etching my name into the annals of sporting history through a career defined by great achievements and unwavering dedication to snowboarding and sports in general.
With a relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the field of competitions and other projects, I have risen to the zenith of athletic success, proudly representing Slovenia, sponsors and my family on the world stage.
Transitioning from a celebrated career in sports, I've embarked on a multifaceted journey in personal growth, business, and innovation. Immersing myself in real estate development, renovation, and property rentals.
My passion for entrepreneurship led me to invest in a forward-thinking supercar-tech company TUSHEK, aligning with my vision for innovation and enthusiasm for sports cars.
Simultaneously, my role as an advisor and collaborator within a dynamic digital marketing agency has allowed me to learn about marketing, sales etc. and contribute to creating strategies to drive impactful campaigns for diverse clientele.
I've remained deeply engaged in the realm of sports and fitness, pursuing World Fitness Federation certification as a personal trainer.
With a keen eye for opportunity and a passion for excellence, I have immersed myself in diverse arenas, each fuelled by a commitment to continuous learning and experiences.
