Seasoned athlete and avid traveller

My definition of living and experiencing life to the fullest involves giving my 100% to tasks that raise my bar. From running half marathons to representing my state at a national level, my grit and focus drives me to achieve whatever I set my mind on. I believe in constantly expanding my skill pool and recently also got certified as an Open Water Diver. 


I further believe that it is equally important to travel and understand how people and life in general works around you since staying in a comfortable bubble halts your creativity.


At home, I enjoy training my Dog basis IGP training modules.
