Beyond My Career
Sailing: Navigating Change with Purpose
The sea has a way of humbling you — of reminding you that control isn’t about resisting the wind, but learning to work with it. That’s what first drew me to sailing.
What began as a curiosity soon became a passion — a balance between precision and intuition, discipline and freedom. Out on the water, every decision counts. You learn to read subtle shifts, trust your instincts, and adjust course with calm confidence — lessons that mirror how I lead and approach innovation in healthcare.
I’ve completed several sailing experiences, each one pushing me to think clearer, act steadier, and embrace uncertainty with focus.
I’m now preparing to earn my sea sailing licence, which I aim to complete next year. My long-term goal is to sail across the Atlantic Ocean — not just as a challenge, but as a statement of who I am: someone who thrives on exploration, resilience, and purposeful direction.
Whether navigating a project or a storm, my philosophy remains the same — stay composed, stay curious, and never stop learning.
