From a young age, I was captivated by the world of logic. Whether it was Sudoku or puzzle books, I couldn’t get enough. While my teachers expected me to study mathematics, I knew my path would lead me to law. The legal system fascinates me like a complex puzzle, where clear rules and regulations exist, but the true art lies in finding creative solutions that go beyond the obvious.

In my spare time, I spent seven years leading an empowerment program for disadvantaged girls and providing legal assistance to refugees. These experiences have broadened my perspective and helped me bring empathy and understanding into my legal work. I’ve learned to appreciate different viewpoints.

Traveling is another passion of mine. It opens up new cultures and perspectives that inspire my creativity and expand my horizons. Each journey motivates me to develop new ideas and explore diverse approaches. In the field of venture capital, these innovative approaches, ideas, and perspectives are particularly sought after. It brings me great joy to support these business ideas as a lawyer and to witness how seemingly simple ideas, when successfully implemented, can bring about significant positive changes.

To maintain balance in my life, I stay active through sports. As a lifeguard and a holder of a brown belt in Taekwondo, I find both peace and strength in these activities. They help me keep equilibrium in my life and tackle challenges with renewed energy.
