Photography
Capturing moments of light and shadow in urban landscapes. Photography taught me to observe details others overlook and to frame stories within a single image.
Piano
Exploring classical and contemporary pieces since age 8. Music trained my discipline, patience, and ability to express emotion beyond words.
Debate
Sharpening critical thinking through competitive argumentation. Debate gave me confidence to structure complex ideas clearly and respond under pressure.
Long-distance Running
Training for half-marathons taught me that consistency beats intensity. The mental endurance I built on the track translates directly to academic challenges.
Reading
From science fiction to behavioral economics, reading broadens my perspective and fuels cross-disciplinary thinking in unexpected ways.
