Hobbies and Interests

Outside of academics and professional development, I am passionate about bodybuilding and am working toward becoming a professional in the field. Fitness has become a core part of my lifestyle, driving me to push my limits and stay disciplined both inside and outside the gym. Alongside strength training, I also practice yoga, which helps me improve flexibility, balance, and mental focus. Together, bodybuilding and yoga allow me to maintain both physical and mental well-being, while continually striving for growth and excellence.
