Outside of work, I’m someone who’s always exploring, learning, and staying curious. I love reading books that expand how I think, riding my bike to clear my head, and cooking which for me is equal parts creativity and therapy. I’m a swimmer and an occasional gamer, and when I’m not outdoors or online, you’ll probably find me lost in a vintage movie or a deep dive on the latest tech innovation.


I believe in constant self-improvement , whether it’s picking up a new skill, finding better routines, or just learning from every experience. I’m driven by curiosity, grounded by balance, and motivated by growth both personal and professional.
