What is the importance of poker in your life?
“Poker plays a significant role in my life, both professionally and personally. Working in the industry and playing the game has opened the door to incredible opportunities, allowing me to travel across the globe and discover new destinations—an experience I am truly grateful for.”

In your opinion, what is the importance of the Women’s Committee?
“The Women’s Committee is significant because it unites members from around the world within the framework of the WPF, a truly global federation. I believe this marks the first genuinely international platform dedicated to women, offering the opportunity to make an impact not only at the local level but also on the global stage, strengthened by the support and reach of the WPF.”
