Me, my Hobbies and Interests

I completed the Insights Discovery Colour Energy personality test and showed a balanced mix of all four colours. My most conscious energies were Yellow (expressive, sociable, and optimistic) and Blue (analytical, detail-oriented, and thoughtful). Meanwhile, my subconscious energies—Green (empathetic, supportive) and Red (driven, decisive)—were fairly even. This adaptability allows me to navigate different situations effectively, combining logic with warmth, and enthusiasm with structure.


Outside of work, I am committed to improving myself, frequently engaging in reading, doing courses like coding or business as well as coming up with business ideas or new recipes to cook as I am very much into nutrition (hopefully one day there is a million dollar idea!).


I thrive on physical challenges, in the interest of improvement and taking care of myself I attend CrossFit daily to keep my body and mind strong. 


I like to have a project, I have just up-cycled some furniture for myself and I aspire to have a car to fix up. I love to be active outdoors, weather permitting, hiking, wild swimming, cycling. 


I also enjoy leadership and social engagement, having organized a sprinting club with colleagues and a group ski trip with friends.


My friends and family are important to me so I like to make time to socialise with them and attend things such as live music, games nights, and social events.

I have a rescue a dog from Romania, she's a very important part of my life, so I spend time walking her; plus I am a keen reader with an interest in current affairs, sustainability, business and engineering/technology related topics.
