Hobbies

I fence to give myself some downtime from work where I can immerse myself in the challenge of developing speed and skill to outsmart my opponent. I enjoy visiting mountain bike parks in my spare time for an exhilarating yet challenging experience. I love rock climbing for the mental challenge of path problem solving under pressure. Sailing is a relaxing past time where I occasionally participate in racing with my local club. Tutoring is something I have been doing since my first degree, initially for some extra money to support my study it has now transitioned into a enjoyable way to pass on my knowledge to the younger generations.
