Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy good conversations over books or live music, spending time outdoors, and finding great new food spots. I like working on creative projects, especially ones that make a difference—like organizing community or charity events. Traveling, exploring new cities, and diving into local culture and food keep me inspired and grounded.
