Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy an active lifestyle and often spend my free time out on long hikes or countryside walks—it's where I feel most refreshed and focused. On rainy days, you’ll usually find me baking for friends, family, or the team—something I genuinely love to do for others. I also volunteer with Spaniel Assist Rescue, where I conduct home checks and assist with rehoming, which has strengthened my communication skills and sense of responsibility.
