Colleagues

I was born in Budapest in 1973 and for nearly 35 years I could call myself "pesti (from Pest) ".

I have always been a humanist, so I have always tried to enrich my mind and enrich my experience. After my school-leaving exams, I trained as a typesetter in the yyomda industry, and I also tried my hand at journalism. Thanks to a friend, I went to Glencraig Camphill Community in Northern Ireland, where I worked with adults with autism, hyperactivity disorder and Down's syndrome, among others. It was here that I was first introduced to the work of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher (his name is a hallmark of the birth of Waldorf education).

It is not surprising that I completed the full-time teacher training at the Waldorf Teacher Training College in Solymar. I can consider myself lucky to have had people like Dr. Tamás Vekerdy as my teachers. With my recent diploma, I taught as a class teacher in Glencraig and then I worked as a Waldorf teacher in my home country.

As a result of a long search I ended up in Pécs, where I currently live with my family. I no longer teach. Since March 2023, I have been working at the Support Service of PTE, for which I am grateful, because it has made me a member of a genuinely welcoming, open and motivating community.

I have been working at the PTE OIG Support Service since 1 February 2011.

I have a disability, so I like to interact, talk and think with people with similar needs.

In 2006 I graduated from the Bálint György Journalism Academy, in 2003 from the Comenius Vocational School and Technical School in Office Management. In 2002 I graduated from the PTE FEEK in Cultural and (Adult) Education Management.

Mainly I am in contact with the following organisations (e.g.: Baranya County Association of Disabled People, Baranya County Association of Blind and Visually Impaired, Baranya County Association of Deaf and Hard of Hearing, CSR Group), but I also keep in touch with other interest groups, represent the interests of the Service, "deliver" information. I also monitor tenders to facilitate your studies. I take part in sensitisation trainings organised by the Round the World Foundation in companies to convince people that we, as equal opportunities beneficiaries, can live a full life in all aspects of life.

I started my studies in 2011 at the Faculty of Education, PTE-BTK.

I have always loved working with children, so after college I started working in a Hungarian-English family day care centre, but my interests expanded and I started working with different target groups (children, adults). This is why I decided to study special education (specialisation in learning disabilities) at the Faculty of Apáczai Csere János János Széchenyi István University, in parallel with my work.

After finishing university, I was looking for an opportunity where I could combine my knowledge and my goals. The result of my search was the PTE Support Service, where I have been working since 1 August 2018. My role is to support people with disabilities who are attending university. In my work, I assist students with their studies (managing academic affairs, putting together study aids, orientation on campus, accompaniment). In addition, as a special needs teacher, I strive to help students develop their abilities into skills that will ensure their independence during their university years and later on in the job market.

In my free time, I like to go hiking, explore new places and dance. I have been taking contemporary dance classes for several years now, during which I was able to participate in the creative activities of an integrated dance group, which was a fantastic experience for me.
