I was born in 1990 in Győr, a city on the western side of Hungary, into a musical family. In 2005 I was offered a place at the Art High School, Pécs, from which I graduated in 2009. There I specialised in the theory of music and composition under the direction of István Győrffy. I then completed my studies in composition at the Franz Liszt Academy, Budapest, under Zoltán Jeney, gaining a BA in 2012 and an MA in 2014. In 2013 I spent a year at the Conservatorio di Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste, Italy, where I studied composition with Fabio Nieder. The following year I spent working under the mentorship of Péter Eötvös at his  Contemporary Music Foundation. In 2019, I obtained a DLA doctoral degree [summa cum laude] at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music with my dissertation on ‘The Vocal Art of András Szőllősy’.

As a doctoral student, I taught for three years in the composition department of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music where I became a teaching assistant, then Associate Professor at the International Kodály Institute in Kecskemét [2017-2023] and then Associate Professor in the Department of Music Theory of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music [2014-present], the post I currently hold. I have been a guest lecturer at the University of Alabama [Huntsville, USA], the Shanghai Conservatory [China], the Mendelssohn Music Academy [Leipzig] and the Conservatorio di Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste.

From 2017-2018, I was Editor-in-Chief of the Universal Music Publishing Editio Musica Budapest where I was mainly working on the works of György Kurtág and for the 2021 – 2022 season, I was composer-in-residence with the Győr Philharmonic Orchestra.
