What Makes Me, Me

📚
Teaching

Sharing knowledge brings genuine joy. From onboarding teammates to KT sessions — teaching is how I multiply impact beyond my own work.

🍳
Cooking

The kitchen is my creative lab. Experimenting with new recipes, discovering flavors — cooking is my way of expressing care and creativity.

🌍
Exploring

New places, new perspectives. A scenic coastal ride or a hidden street café — I find inspiration in every corner I haven't seen yet.
