Transforming obstacles into opportunities through inventive problem-solving
01 INTRODUCTION
Maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle has always been a core part of who I am, while my siblings were absorbed into the trending video games and movies, I was out on the cricket field or in the boxing gym. Beyond sports, I’m a social and outgoing person, actively involved in several societies at my university, where I love connecting with like-minded individuals and sharing thoughts on our similar interests. However, I enjoy even more when engaging with individuals who bring diverse perspectives and thoughts, as it sparks my enthusiasm for contributing to meaningful discussions and collaborative projects.
