About Me

As Chairwoman of the Media Committee of the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations (WAKO), I play a key leadership role in managing communication, visibility, and the public image of kickboxing and WAKO. I led the development of the WAKO Kickboxing Safeguarding Policy and serve as a Safeguarding Officer, present at major kickboxing events. I am the author of the analytical guideline The Ethics of Touch, which is included in the educational materials for kickboxing coaches. I have delivered several safeguarding lectures for coaches during coaches’ conferences at major WAKO events.
