Having a fit and able body has numerous benefits. As someone who enjoys weightlifting and kickboxing, I have experienced firsthand how these activities can positively impact personal development. Weightlifting provides a physical and mental challenge, while kickboxing offers a high-intensity workout that boosts confidence and empowers other areas of life. Developing a fit and able body leads to higher energy levels and self-confidence, which in turn, can boost productivity in the workplace. Furthermore, I also enjoy managing a personal portfolio in my spare time. My portfolio is mainly composed of ETFs, large cap stocks and some emerging market funds, which allows me to diversify my investments across different asset classes and regions. My evident career path complements this hobby and I intend to grow the portfolio in the long term. I believe I possess a versatile knowledge base that would allow me to form strong relationships with all my future colleagues.
