From competitive soccer and handball to social padel, I thrive in collaborative environments. Team sports have honed my strategic thinking, communication, and discipline under pressure.
To balance a digital-first career, I invest in manual creation. Exploring ceramics and now learning to draw builds patience, hones my eye for detail, and fuels a different kind of problem-solving.
True growth happens outside the comfort zone. Hitchhiking the length of Vietnam and across the Algarve taught me extreme adaptability, resourcefulness, and how to connect with people from all walks of life.
