Hobbies & Interests
I am an avid follower of Football and Formula 1. I enjoy football for the excitement and have a lot of passion for the sport (although not a good footballer myself). I love F1 because I love cars and the engineering innovations within the sport (a reason why I wanted to be an engineer). I enjoy music from all genres and eras. My favourite hobby is exploring a new places with my two kids, bringing joy on to their lives is one of the best parts of being a parent.
