Chess and hiking


I am an amateur chess player, which has helped me develop critical thinking, strategic planning, and patience—skills that I apply in my professional life to analyze situations carefully and make well-informed decisions. Chess has also enhanced my problem-solving abilities and ability to anticipate challenges ahead, qualities valuable in any business environment.

In addition, I have a passion for hiking, which reflects my love for nature, endurance, and goal-setting. Hiking requires perseverance, discipline, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions—traits I bring into my work by staying focused on objectives, managing stress, and embracing challenges with a positive attitude.

Together, these interests demonstrate my commitment to continuous personal growth, strategic thinking, and a balanced, resilient mindset—qualities that make me a strong contributor to any team.
