Outside of the world of education and childcare, I find enjoyment in a variety of hobbies and activities that help to bring a balance to my life. I am an avid reader, jumping into literature that spans genres and cultures helps to expand my knowledge and provides a welcomed escape.

Maintaining a personal blog on various topics helps me to express creativity and build writing skills. Baking and Cooking are another passion of mine; being able to experiment with different recipes and creating delicious meals and snacks provides a creative outlet that mirrors the precision, attention to detail, and sometimes, flexibility, that is required in education and childcare. These hobbies not only contribute to my well-being but also enhance my ability to approach challenges that arise with fresh perspectives and various tactics.
