interests
This results from my experiences traveling places around the world particularly in
France and southeast Asia. I enjoy viewing films and TV series with fine cinematography
and well-written screenplays. I have a strong determination to meet the various long and
short-term goals I set. I value both action and reflection, which allows for my flexible
work ethic. I am also keenly interested in art collections, pottery, and typography. As a
whole, I am a visual thinker with an appreciation for aesthetic quality and refined tastes.
