Interests

Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about staying active and spending quality time with my family. I enjoy hiking and biking, which allows me to connect with nature while staying fit and energized. Traveling is another significant interest of mine; I love exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and creating lasting memories with my loved ones. Visiting amusement parks is a particular favorite, as it brings joy and excitement to our family adventures. Whether it’s embarking on a new journey or simply enjoying the great outdoors, these activities enrich my life and provide a perfect balance to my work in mental health.
