Biography
Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Slovenia, I have dedicated my life to unraveling the profound mysteries of Catholic theology.
My academic odyssey began with the completion of a Masters in Theology in 2021, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of faith.
Presently, I find myself in the heart of theological inquiry as a visiting scholar at the esteemed Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.

Beyond formal education, my journey as a Catholic theologian has been enriched by attending various summer schools, from the hallowed halls of Princeton to the historic city of Krakow.
