Biography: 
 After 10 years of playing football, I started running during the Covid pandemic. I used to accompany my stepfather, who was preparing for an ultra trail. Initially just to maintain my physical condition, but it quickly turned into a passion. In 2021, I joined the Belgium trail academy, which supports me in my training to improve again and again. And Since 2023, Dries has given me the opportunity to be part of the Benelux Scott running team where I feel so good. Now, I love training in the mountains or in the Ardennes forests. In competition, I participate in trails of more or less 15 km. However, I need uphill or downhill sections because when it's flat, I'm bored.
