Tenis, walking with my dogs, Swiming

Sports and outdoor activities have always been a big part of my life. I picked up tennis when I was six and played until I was fifteen. Those years taught me discipline, focus, and how to keep my cool under pressure—lessons that I still use off the court. While I no longer play as often, I’ll happily jump into a friendly match whenever I get the chance.

Swimming was another big passion of mine growing up. I even competed for a while when I was thirteen. These days, I’m more about the joy and rhythm of the water than chasing medals, but the love for it has stuck with me.

I also love walking my two Siberian Huskies, June and Alaska. Or, more accurately, they’re walking me! Their energy and enthusiasm are boundless, and they’ve taught me to appreciate the outdoors in a whole new way (even if they occasionally take me for an unplanned sprint).

These activities—whether it’s hitting a tennis ball, diving into a pool, or getting tugged along by my dogs—keep me balanced, active, and remind me to embrace life with both determination and a sense of humor.
