About me

I am hardworking, well organised and devoted; I love challenges and thrive in team-orientated environments. My persistent nature drives me to complete every task to my greatest capabilities, leading me to learn new skills and further develop my knowledge. I'm responsible and always take initiave, with significant experience leading engineering teams.

Beyond academia, I enjoy playing a variety of sports; particularly volleyball, basketball and recently golf. I have a deep passion for hiking, due to its potential for self development and ability to get closer with nature.
