Snowboard, surf and trekking

Outside of work, I’m passionate about outdoor sports and adventure, particularly snowboarding, surfing, and trekking. These activities have taught me resilience, adaptability, and a strong sense of discipline—skills I bring into my professional life. Whether navigating unpredictable waves, tackling challenging mountain trails, or carving down snowy slopes, I’ve developed a mindset geared toward problem-solving, persistence, and staying calm under pressure. These hobbies also reflect my love for nature, a drive to continually push my limits, and an appreciation for teamwork and planning in dynamic environments.
