ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS
I have 3 main passions in life. First, food, I very much enjoy trying unusual and innovative
cuisines, whether by going to the restaurant or attempting to cook myself. I, also, love to
travel, experiencing new cultures and meeting new people. Finally, there is nothing that
gives me greater joy than teaching. I love seeing the spark in my students’ eyes when they
learn something new or become curious about a new topic. It’s a tremendously rewarding
profession.
