Interests
Data Analytics, Project Management
Travel, Film and Arts
I love to travel at least once a year to see the world and get some much-needed rest and relaxation. As a student of the arts, I also enjoy watching movies, and my favorite actor of all time is Johnny Depp. I have a love for the eccentric, which is why I also enjoy Wes Anderson's films—especially his use of color. I’m passionate about arts and literature and hope to one day create a photobook about my country that captures all of its magic—the good, the bad, and the ugly
