Studied 3 years in China

I spent three years studying in China, which gave me valuable international experience and strengthened my ability to adapt, communicate across cultures, and navigate diverse environments.

I am also passionate about leadership and team development. I have coached youth Cross Country and Track, leading my team to qualify for three Junior Olympic events, including a 1st place team finish. This experience reflects my ability to motivate others, build strong teams, and drive results.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, fitness training, and mentoring others, all of which reinforce my commitment to discipline, consistency, and personal growth.
