Outside of Work

When I’m not diving into creative endeavors, you can often find me at the theatre, soaking in a live performance, or wandering through art galleries, finding inspiration in every brushstroke. I’m passionate about staying active, and Reformer Pilates has become my go-to for both fitness and mindfulness. Bullet journaling is my creative outlet where I organise my thoughts and bring ideas to life, one page at a time.
