Personal Interests
I’m drawn to adrenaline-fueled sports such as surfing, skydiving, snowboarding, and free diving, and I enjoy the focus and teamwork found in soccer. I’m fluent in English and French and have a strong passion for language learning, with a personal goal of speaking five languages fluently by age 30, driven by a love for travel and cultural connection.
