Language, sport,
and the spaces in between.
I grew up in Ulaanbaatar, but in many ways I grew up in languages. Mongolian at home, English at school, Mandarin in the classroom of a rural school where I became the teacher, French at Alliance Française on weekends. Each language opened a room I didn't know existed. That curiosity — about how people communicate, how knowledge travels, how access gets decided — is the thread connecting most of what I do.
On the pitch, I've worn Mongolia's colors at the Gothia Cup, Norway Cup, Dana Cup, Helsinki Cup, and Dana Cup — the biggest youth football stages in the world. I've trained at FC Barcelona Academy and competed across Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Spain. Football taught me everything formal education couldn't about pressure, failure, and how to keep moving.
Off the pitch, I build things: a French learning club at school, a website to surface opportunities for Mongolian high schoolers, a Chinese class for rural students who had no other access. None of it is finished. All of it matters to me. This site is where I put it all in one place — not to impress, but to be legible.
