About

My first love was gymnastics. The second was science.

Yet, the one that fortifies my being the most are human stories.

I am convinced that you can learn something from everyone. With the right questions and lens.

In line with my second love, I formally pursued science by completing an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and then a masters in Neuroscience from King's College London.

From that segment of my life, I thought I would unearth all the secrets of the human body and brain alike. I was so very wrong. Graduation in 2020 was the starting ground for real learning.

By nature, I have the same curiosity as Alice in Wonderland so getting lost and finding new rabbit holes to explore is a skill in itself.

As for my first love, gymnastics has taught me the beauty of contradiction. The more poised, softer a move appears on the surface, the higher the degree of control, resistance, awareness, and strength behind the scenes. One can not exist without the other. This is why I love the practice.

During my studies, I worked part-time at the bar of a health club. I know, fitting with the theme of contradictions. Not only could you get a sweat on, but members would grab a drink or a few, and I'd be all ears. I loved hearing it all, most days. From painful heartbreak, diets, new love, dad jokes and some of the most sincere compliments I've ever received. Human moments in their rawest form.

Prior to that, I'd spent several years working with young children between the ages of 5-10 years old. The most rewarding work I've ever done. Creating an environment for creative play highlighted that every child has a unique blueprint and nourishing it was essential.

Fast forward, for my master's thesis, I explored 'the structural brain mediators between Socioeconomic Status and Cognitive ability'. An attempt to piece the puzzle between the differences in development I'd witnessed.

In line with my curiosity, I have learned how to actually learn & applied it to teaching myself to code and design.
