Life Outside of Work
My biggest accomplishment is mastering the art of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, which I’ve been training in for years. Before studying physics, I practiced and competed in the athletic discipline of hammer throw. I studied physics and specialized in meteorology. Outside of work, I love to camp with my family, finding peace in nature. I enjoy exploring unexplored places and don’t lightly share their coordinates. I have a talent for juggling work and private life, showcasing my balance and coordination. My favorite movies were filmed before 2010, and I sometimes enjoy live concerts with classical music.
Fun fact about me:
I have a dry sense of humor, write with my right hand, have my heart on the left, and keep my mind balanced in the middle.
