About Me

I grew up with a natural sense of curiosity, always eager to explore how things worked. Whether it was tinkering with gadgets or asking endless questions, I enjoyed solving problems and finding creative ways to make sense of the world around me.

Over time, this curiosity developed into a love for learning and a drive to take on new challenges. From my studies to my early experiences in engineering, I discovered not only the technical side of problem-solving but also the importance of teamwork, resilience, and adaptability. These skills helped me to collaborate with diverse groups of people and grow as a communicator and leader.

Moving abroad for my master’s studies was a turning point. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, taught me independence, and gave me the confidence to embrace uncertainty. I learned how to connect big-picture thinking with practical solutions, balancing foresight with hands-on execution.

Today, I see myself as someone who combines curiosity, empathy, and a forward-looking mindset. My journey has been less about titles or positions and more about learning, adapting, and helping ideas grow into real impact. That mindset continues to guide me in both my personal and professional life.
