After graduating from TAISM, I moved to Berlin, where I am completing my bachelor’s thesis in Sports and Event Management (B.Sc.) at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences. Alongside my studies, I work at HYROX, a global fitness company, where I collaborate with our programming, performance, and coaching teams on a range of projects. I help refine coaching curriculums, contribute to training concepts, and work with sports scientists analyzing athlete performance data like VO2 max and lactate threshold measurements. I am also involved in market research and expansion efforts, helping identify where we can grow next and supporting new initiatives.
Sports have always been a huge part of my life. When I found this field, I immediately knew it was a perfect fit. It combines endurance and strength in a way that constantly challenges you. Joining a company that is growing internationally has been an incredible opportunity, giving me a 360° perspective of both the athletic and business sides of the sport.
TAISM’s impact on me goes way beyond academics. It shaped my confidence, my way of thinking, and how I handle pressure. Even now at university, people often notice there is something different about how I approach challenges, and I credit that to TAISM’s culture. The teachers made the biggest difference. Their patience, encouragement, and support gave me a strong foundation — even when I was sneaking extra minutes on the football pitch!
My advice to future students is simple: stick with what you love, stay curious, and do not give up when things get tough. Dive deep into learning — ask questions, research more, apply it outside the classroom. That is when real growth happens.
One of my favorite TAISM memories is from Discover Oman, playing Mafia around a campfire when Mrs. Mac suddenly jumped out and scared me mid-game. I probably screamed louder than I would like to admit, but we laughed for hours.
To any prospective families: TAISM is more than a school — it is a community. The care, attention, and encouragement you will find here help shape you for life. I would not be where I am today without it.
