Passions:

Human relations: I like people. that’s how I like to put it. Understanding consumer behavior in a given market, having a go at improving people’s welfare in or out of the workplace, or simply having a chat with a stranger: it is what I love to do. Studying human resources management at university and achieving high grades in related subjects made me look forward to maybe pursuing a career in a human relations “flavoured” position.

Internet and social media: It has been such a thrill witnessing the internet expanding so fast as I grew up. I’ve always followed e-trends the best I could and managed to keep up to date with a variety of software, some coding languages – mostly HTML – and of course social media. I find the latter being the most interesting as it combines two of my greatest passions: people and the internet.

Photography and Video-making: I’ve always been a footage enthusiast. Through my other passions, I’ve often felt the need to get the best possible footage of all the incredible talented people who surround me.  I am currently working on personal projects that soon will be featured on this website… So stay tuned.

Sports: I hold good level of sporting achievement and involvement and competitive level in skiing & snowboarding. I am furthermore practicing surfing, swimming, wakeboarding, skateboarding on a regular basis and currently coaching surfing.
