Bio I am a 23-year-old German architecture student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and a professional decathlete who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics. My journey combines design and athletics: I study architecture, design projects ranging from housing concepts to 3D-printed footwear, and compete internationally. I am driven by creativity, performance, and innovation—pushing boundaries both in sport and in design.
