As a child, I was always drawn to the idea of creating something from scratch, of building something meaningful that could leave a mark. This passion for entrepreneurship has stayed with me, evolving into a relentless drive to innovate and contribute. If I were to launch my own startup, it would be focused on recycling—giving plastic a second life. I’ve been fascinated by recycling machines since I was a kid, and the idea of turning waste into something useful feels like my way of giving back to the planet.

Family is the cornerstone of my life. Losing my father was a pivotal moment that reshaped my perspective and taught me to value the strength and love of the people closest to me. It’s this foundation that has fueled my resilience and helped me thrive in environments where inspiring and hardworking people surround me. Joining such a workplace was another significant decision that has greatly influenced who I am today.

One of the principles that guides me is Carl Jung’s wisdom: “The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, it will tell you.” This resonates deeply with me. It’s a reminder to stay grounded in self-awareness and define my own identity rather than letting the world dictate it.

As a kid, I was always a bit of a daredevil. My mother still tells stories of how I carried bandages everywhere, convinced I had to save the day after her routine checkups. Whether it was scraping my knees from a failed bicycle stunt or dreaming up my next big idea, that adventurous spirit shaped the person I’ve become—someone who thrives on challenges and sees every failure as a step closer to success.
