What is your favourite food?
I have a particular fondness for street food. There’s something incredibly satisfying about indulging in the unique flavours and aromas offered by street vendors. It’s the perfect way to immerse oneself in the vibrant food culture of different regions.
As a child, what did you want to grow up to be?
My dream was to become a pilot. The idea of soaring through the sky, exploring new places. I was captivated by the idea of being in control of an aircraft and navigating through the clouds.
What’s your dream holiday destination?
Finland. I’ve always been captivated by the mesmerising beauty of the Northern Lights. Imagining myself standing under the shimmering lights, surrounded by the serene Finnish landscape, fills me with a sense of awe and wonder.
How would you describe yourself?
Reliable, easy-going, flexible and funny. Being easy-going enables me to adapt to situations and work well with various teams and stakeholders. Flexibility allows me to quickly adjust to changing priorities and unexpected challenges. Lastly, injecting humour into my work helps create a positive and enjoyable environment for all.
Do you have any pet peeves?
Yes, I have trypophobia, which is the fear or discomfort associated with clusters of small holes or patterns. Another pet peeve of mine is witnessing people being rude or disrespectful to waiters or service staff. I believe in treating others with kindness and respect, regardless of their profession, and it bothers me when individuals don’t show common courtesy to those providing service.
Do you have any hidden talents?
Yes, I do. I speak multiple languages fluently which allows me to effectively communicate and connect with a diverse range of people. Additionally, I have a passion for cooking and enjoy experimenting with different ingredients and flavours.
What’s an extreme sport you’d be willing to try?
As a scuba diver, I would be willing to try cage diving with great white sharks. The opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures up close in their natural habitat is an exhilarating prospect that I would eagerly embrace.
