What do you enjoy most about your work?
What I enjoy most about my work is that I can put my energy into it and face new challenges every day. I like giving something my all, staying focused and achieving good results together with my colleagues. I also think a friendly atmosphere in the workplace is important.
How would your colleagues describe you?
Probably as energetic, disciplined and fun to be around. I like giving something my all, but I find it just as important to spend time with the people around me and have fun together.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, you'll often find me staying active. I have a great passion for fitness and am also very dedicated to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). For me, that combination is perfect: in the gym, I work on my strength and fitness, while on the BJJ mat, I'm challenged both physically and mentally. It's the ultimate way for me to clear my mind completely and stay sharp.
After all that hard training, I love finding a balance and relaxing. My favourite way to do that is by going to the sauna to fully recharge. But real relaxation for me is spending quality time with friends. I really enjoy having nice dinners together, whether we're spending hours at a good restaurant or I'm cooking myself. Good food, great stories and laughing with friends make for the best evenings for me.
What's something people might not know about you?
Going to the sauna is really a way for me to fully recharge.
