Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by practicing yoga, pilates, hiking, and biking. I also cherish spending quality time with my loved ones, whether it's enjoying a home-cooked meal together or embarking on adventures outdoors. Traveling and exploring new places are also passions of mine, and I often seek out opportunities to immerse myself in different cultures and experiences. In my community, I enjoy discovering local events, trying new restaurants, and grabbing coffee at a local cafe. Additionally, I have a passion for music and enjoy attending local shows.
