Who am I? 
At 13, I moved to Scotland and spent a good ten years soaking in the experience.
Beyond academics, I have a host of passions that keep my days lively. Music and sports are a huge part of my routine – I’m committed to playing my saxophone daily and actively performing in various musical ensembles, including jazz quartets, wind bands, and charity events. Additionally, I take great pleasure in performing with my own quartet, charmingly named ’The Four Guys’, in different gigs.
When I’m not lost in swings and melodies, I love to indulge in activities like golf, swimming, rugby, and weightlifting. These hobbies aren’t just for fun; they’re my go-to way to clear my mind and gear up for whatever’s coming next, letting me apply the important values of sportsmanship to various parts of my life.
