Education Certifications Awards
Personal motto:
Work hard.
Be humble.
Stay curious.
As the eldest child of two teachers, traveling was rare. However, our house was filled with curiosity, art history books, novels, and discussions. Visiting priests, businessmen, and my father's high school pupils frequently sat at our table. These experiences shaped my perspective on the world, opened my eyes to the various ways to be human, and fueled my passion for knowledge and curiosity.
