О себе:
What drives me most is helping others grow, sharing knowledge, opening doors and watching people take their first confident steps in their careers. I’ve been fortunate to work across different countries and roles, and I see mentorship as a way to give back what others once gave me: guidance, perspective, and belief in potential.
Outside of work, I find energy in endurance sports and creative projects. Training for triathlons teaches discipline and resilience, while creative side projects remind me to stay curious and open-minded, qualities I also try to pass on to those I mentor.
