Interests
I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, including family, friends, and pets, as these connections bring joy and balance to my life. When time permits, I take pleasure in preparing meals, as cooking allows me to unwind and express creativity. I also enjoy listening to music and reading a good book, both of which help me relax and recharge. Spending time outdoors—walking in nature and participating in sports—brings fulfillment and supports both my physical and emotional well-being.
