Former Swiss Track and Field athlete, double European champion. I won gold in the 400m hurdles in 2018 and 2019. These achievements are close to my heart after years of dedication and hard work.
Since retiring from professional athletics, I’ve taken on new challenges, including directing the Fribourg Track Lab, a new track and field meet that brings innovation to the sport by blending tradition with fresh ideas. I am also the co-founder of SMOVE, an initiative that promotes movement and helps people stay active in their everyday lives. Additionally, I serve as a board member at European Athletics as the chair of the Athletes’ Committee, where I work to represent the voice of athletes and shape the future of the sport.
In addition to my work in athletics, I enjoy sharing my experiences through motivational talks. I love connecting the worlds of elite sport and business, drawing on the lessons I’ve learned about resilience, hard work, and leadership to inspire others in their own journeys.
