In my leisure, I enjoy maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle through regular gym training, clean eating, and staying socially active. Alongside this, I remain focused on my academic goals, continually building my knowledge and skills through my university studies. During my tertiary study, I have gained credit for all core business papers, with a strong focus on economics and political economy. I am currently in my final year at the University of Otago, where I am completing advanced papers in microeconomics, macroeconomics, behavioural economics, international trade, and the economics of health and education, alongside studies in business ethics and public policy. These areas have developed my critical thinking, analytical skills, and understanding of how economic and political systems shape real-world outcomes—knowledge I look forward to applying in my professional career.
