Additional Information
Enjoy exploring diverse cuisines and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
Cooking
Cooking is a delightful blend of creativity and precision. I love experimenting with different cuisines and ingredients, trying out new recipes, and perfecting classic dishes. Whether it's baking a batch of cookies or preparing a complex meal, I find joy in the process and satisfaction in the results. Cooking allows me to explore flavors, learn about different cultures, and share delicious meals with others.
Athletics
Athletics is where I find my rhythm and push my limits. Whether I’m hitting the track for a morning run, challenging myself in a cycling race, or just enjoying a casual game with friends, it’s all about feeling alive and connected to my body. It’s not just about competition; it’s a way to energize my spirit, celebrate my strengths, and keep myself grounded in the present moment. Every stride, every lap, and every goal achieved brings a sense of accomplishment and joy.
Yoga
Yoga is my sanctuary amidst the demands of nursing. After a long shift, rolling out my mat and practicing yoga helps me unwind and reconnect with myself. It’s more than just physical exercise; it’s a deep breath of calm and a moment of mindfulness. The gentle stretches and mindful poses help me release tension, restore my energy, and find balance. Yoga keeps me centered, allowing me to approach my patients with a renewed sense of calm and compassion. It’s my way of nurturing my own well-being so I can better care for others
