I believe that each of us has the power to create change and make a positive impact on our surroundings.

I have been living in Volusia County since 2011, and in 2015 I founded my marketing agency, where I draw on more than 15 years of international marketing experience, working with clients from both Florida and Europe. Later, I established the HungarianHub nonprofit organization, which fosters networking among innovative business and community leaders between Hungary and the United States.

I represent the interests of local Hungarian communities, strengthen trade and economic relations between Hungary and the United States, and support cultural and scientific collaborations — including tourism, internship programs, and student exchanges.

In 2019, I was appointed as the Honorary Consul of Hungary in Daytona Beach, Central Florida.
