Go career: I discovered Go at 16 in high school, and the game quickly became a lifelong passion. As a student, I spent nearly a year in Japan, where I had the chance to study as an insei (Go student) on weekends. Since then, I’ve won the Swiss Go Championship several times and represented Switzerland at international tournaments in Korea and Japan.

Go career: I discovered Go in 2009 at age 14, when I stumbled upon the manga Hikaru no Go in my school's library. I found out there was a club near me in La Tour-de-Peilz, and I attended my first tournament in 2010. Progressing further became difficult because of life events, but now that I have the opportunity to fully focus on Go once again, I was finally able to reach 1 dan and win my first tournament in 2024. In the future, I hope to become Swiss Champion and represent Switzerland in international events.
