“At the age 20 while my friends are trying to find themselves and take the first step in the real world, I get to travel the globe and doing a profession I love and for that I am so grateful. I am also lucky that in my position I have time for me to make the right decisions and grow as a person and a fighter. That will be my focus and with the right mindset, the right abilities, the right charisma and on April 22nd the world will see Havoc.”
