Hobbies and Interests
Outside of medicine, I enjoy drawing, graphic design, and exploring different forms of art as a way to relax and express my creativity. I love visiting museums and galleries, where I can appreciate new ideas, cultures, and perspectives. I also enjoy traveling, creating content, and staying active through exercise. These hobbies help me recharge, stay curious, and maintain a healthy balance outside of academics while reminding me of the importance of creativity, connection, and lifelong learning.
