I'm a student-athlete at the University of North Texas, but my story starts in Omiš, a small town on the Croatian coast where the Cetina River meets the Adriatic Sea. Growing up there taught me to appreciate where I come from and work for where I want to go. Basketball has been part of my life since I was six. Sixteen-plus years in the game built more than skills — they built the discipline and mindset I carry into everything I do. Before coming to the U.S., I completed two years of Business Economics in Croatia. That foundation sparked a real passion for entrepreneurship — how ideas become products, and how execution separates winners from the rest. Off the court, my biggest focus is artificial intelligence. I'm learning how AI is reshaping every industry and how to use it to build real things, because the intersection of AI and business is where the next generation of opportunities will be created. Omiš gave me roots, basketball gave me discipline — now I'm building what's next.
