Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and exploring nature, which helps me stay focused and energized. I have a passion for planning trips and organising itineraries, combining creativity with attention to detail. I also enjoy hands-on projects and making things from scratch, which reflects my problem-solving mindset and appreciation for process and outcomes. Keeping things tidy and organised — whether at home or in a work environment — is something I value, as it supports clarity, efficiency, and peace of mind.
