Affiliations
I have played lots of different sports since a young age like rugby, football, golf and others. This has taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, leadership and resilience.
I have also coached rugby for the last 9 years. 6 years ago I decided to start my own rugby team. This was a huge challenge but it has taught me so many skills and pushed me out of my comfort zone.
In my spare time I enjoy learning new processes and building things by hand.
