About me
Born on 4 July 2002 in Slovenia, in the Postojna Maternity Hospital, I lived in the city of Ljubljana until end 2004, when my family moved to Brussels, Belgium. I stayed there until July 2007, when we settled in Luxembourg.
Until June 2017, I went to the European School Luxembourg II, the French section. Between 2017 and 2019, I followed a French home-schooling programme.
After successful auditions in December 2018, I was offered a place at the Royal College of Music in London (UK) in the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Music course. I started as a fresher in September 2019.
I am quadrilingual (French, English, Slovenian, and Chinese) and I also learn German, Italian, and Spanish.
I like reading and I practice swimming, ski (Bronze Star at the French Ski School), cycling, roller skating… I also love animals.
