As a kid I compared myself to everyone around me. It wasn't helpful but it did teach me to notice patterns. I read widely, watched people carefully, and tried to see my own choices from a third‑person view. That distance raised my empathy at first, and later taught me to balance analysis with warmth. I'm still learning that balance.

My curiosity runs through human behavior, social psychology, power dynamics, ethics, and the strange ways perception shapes reality. Along the way I picked up practical tools marketing, finance, basic code, data work and applied them wherever I could.
