About

I am a university student who enjoys combining problem-solving, hard work and innovative solutions to achieve goals and create solutions. I like to learn from different people and situations, and to apply my public speaking experience into team management and collaboration. I find pleasure in completing tasks, no matter how small or large, to the best of my abilities ahead of a deadline. In my free time, I enjoy debating current and international affairs, reading, creating microelectronics or computing projects, and watching or listening anything related to medicine or chemistry.
