When I’m not studying, I enjoy training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and playing chess I’ve learned a great deal from both of those activities about strategy and problem-solving I’ve always been fascinated by patterns and how they appear, whether it’s a system, a game, or even the patterns of animal behavior and play That’s a big part of why I’m interested in public finance too, because I believe it’s necessary to look at the big picture and not just the numbers
