Passionate about multicultural cooking, currently learning Hindi at beginner level.

I am passionate about multicultural cooking and the emotional connection it creates. Exploring Indian cuisine has deepened my appreciation for family traditions and taught me the value of patience, creativity, and sensory awareness. I'm also learning Hindi at a beginner level, as part of my commitment to building a strong, culturally blended family and communicating with love beyond borders. These personal pursuits have strengthened my adaptability, empathy, and global mindset — qualities I bring into every professional role.
