He was born in Hidas, in a Roma settlement, into a family of Beás Roma. He first encountered the Hungarian language at the age of five. During his primary school years, he failed the seventh grade; subsequently, he worked as an unskilled laborer for a long time before eventually completing his secondary education and earning a diploma as a Waldorf teacher.
Prior to this, he was actively involved in local public life through the Roma minority self-government, focusing primarily on supporting Roma youth in pursuing further education. From 2004, he worked at an equal-opportunity school in Alsószentmárton, and in 2007, he became one of the founders of the Dr. Ambedkar School in Sajókaza an institution that has since expanded to operate in Miskolc as well. He serves not only as a founder and one of the school’s leaders but also as a teacher. The school provides young people who have struggled in the traditional education system and often come from backgrounds of extreme poverty with the opportunity to earn a secondary school diploma and acquire a professional trade, despite a hostile legal and social environment. Furthermore, the school teaches them the values of humanity and democracy.
