Hobbies and Interests

I have had the chance to travel from a very young age, around North America and later Europe. I also travel around most of New Zealand in the last few years. Traveling has improved my ability to adapt to unanticipated situations with positive mindset and to think quickly and efficiently while considering all opinions with emotional intelligence and cultural sensitivity. I have done volunteering through The Big Brother Big Sister Charity from 2011 to 2015. It helped me develop my sense of responsibility and gave me the opportunity to develop a meaningful relationship with a stranger who became family.
