Interests

Besides games, I am passionate about fitness. I was formerly a krav maga instructor and freestyle jump roper, and am now into dancing and running. I also go to the gym regularly.When I'm not working out, I'm usually home spending time with my husband and cat, or out having good coffee or brunch somewhere.^{Muay thai photo for CoreX by Ruel Tafalla}
