Life Outside Work

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through movement-based practices such as jump rope, handstands, and soft acrobatics — activities that challenge my balance, focus, and persistence. I also value time with my family in the mountains, whether camping under the stars, hiking new trails, or exploring new places together. These passions keep me energized, curious, and adaptable — qualities I consistently bring into my professional life when tackling new challenges. For me, both in life and work, progress comes from resilience, discipline, and curiosity.
