Interests

Beyond academics, I’m passionate about capturing life’s unique moments through photography, which has become a way for me to tell stories beyond words. Whether it’s the vibrant streets of a bustling city or the serene landscapes of a hidden getaway, travel fuels my creativity and inspires me to see the world through fresh perspectives. Each destination and encounter brings a new story waiting to be told, and I love using my lens to bring these experiences to life. Photography and travel together are my way of connecting with the world, one story at a time.
