Gardening, learning new languages, hikes
My nurturing and caring nature comes in handy when gardening. I love to learn new languages as I believe its crucial for working in diverse healthcare settings and enables effective communication which is essential for building rapport with patients and collaborating with colleagues.
I love hikes as its proven good for my physical and mental well being and other qualities that contribute to maintaining stamina and agility.
