I am a pro basketball player taking the road less traveled 🏀🗺️❤️🧭

I started out as a coach, and, unconventionally, now building my career as a player. Over the last years, I have played & worked in Norway, Italy, Germany, the UK, France, and China. It is a great privilege to travel and come into community with people from all walks of life.

I eventually will pursue a master’s in education, with a focus on sports and sociology. Teaching is a passion of mine and working with young people is fulfilling to me.

Sports is the main medium that I use to connect, deepen my understanding of life, and share lessons with others. Although I am very competitive on the court, I care most that the passion for the game leads us to learn love for each other.

This year I claimed my Italian citizenship, and which helps a lot for my career, but I invested my savings into it. As of now, I am looking for some places to stay while I meet with teams for next season.

In the process, my aim is to meet kind people, exchange some stories and life experiences, and perhaps learn something new.

Thanks for reading my profile. Look forward to connecting! :)
