Business Analysis
Meditation, Volunteering, and Keeping Fit
I regularly meditate for neutralizing my thoughts, keeping calm to help me with my emotional well-being and reduce cognitive stress. My daily workouts of 45-and an hour boosts my energy level, improves my problem solving ability and promotes better sleep. For my personal well-being and community social responsibility I help not for profit organisations and the Charity I lead to help young people find their career and leaning pathways.
