Hobbies and Interests

Outside of work, I’m a passionate fitness enthusiast who enjoys staying active and energised through regular training. I love immersing myself in nature, whether it’s hiking scenic trails or simply enjoying the outdoors. Cooking is another passion — I take pride in creating diverse dishes and sharing them with others, bringing people together through food. I’m also fascinated by different cultures and enjoy learning about new traditions and perspectives, which helps me connect meaningfully with people from all walks of life.
