I am a devoted musician with six years of experience playing piano and 2 years playing guitar. I have enojyed playing music both solo and with others at local events, especially when the audience gets involved!. Alongside my passion for music, I am an avid swimmer and enjoy spending time outdoors. Additionally, my enthusiasm for 3D printing fuels my creativity, as I actively design and prototype projects both at home and for my professional life. This hobby reflects my inquisitive and detail-oriented approach, contributing to a well-rounded and innovative perspective in all aspects of my life.
