Cross-fit, Rugby League, Wrestling, Music

 I am deeply committed to a lifestyle that prioritizes physical and mental well-being, a belief that's evident in my diverse range of hobbies. From the tactical and physically demanding nature of wrestling to the high-intensity, all-encompassing workouts of CrossFit, each activity serves as a testament to my philosophy that a healthy body begets a healthy mind. My involvement in Rugby League extends this belief into the realm of teamwork and social interaction, emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical health, mental acuity, and community. Furthermore, my dedication to playing the cello provides a harmonious counterpoint, requiring a unique form of mental focus and emotional expression. Together, these activities encapsulate my holistic approach to life, where physical fitness and mental wellness go hand-in-hand.
