Project Management Professional (PMP®)

In my free time, I love reconnecting with nature whether it’s walking in a forest, fishing or pretending to be an expert mushroom hunter (with caution, of course). I’m also a big fan of getting lost in good films and books, and when I’m not in the wild, you’ll probably find me wandering through new cities, visiting museums, or attending public events - basically anywhere I can satisfy my curiosity, having a good walk and maybe find a good coffee. I’m also a passionate cook, but don’t ask me for dessert because I’m really a disaster in it.
