I am an avid gym-goer, deeply passionate about maintaining my fitness and well-being through regular workouts.

Travel plays a significant role in my life, as I relish discovering new places and immersing myself in different cultures. I have a keen interest in disruptions and innovations, always eager to learn about and experience cutting-edge developments. My appreciation for the arts is reflected in my love for theatre, particularly drama, where I find a profound sense of connection and reflection. These interests not only provide me with a sense of fulfillment and joy but also continually inspire and influence my professional mindset.
