Me in a nutshell

• I enjoy spending time in nature, especially in the mountains—whether hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing.
• I love meaningful conversations and time with friends.
• Psychology fascinates me because it helps me understand the world and myself better.
• And yes—dark chocolate is my weakness.
