How do your friends describe you and your spare time?

The feedback I get from friends & Team colleagues is mainly based on my “humanity”. They like my energy, my empathy, the fact that I keep calm and never give up despite all issues I can face, and that I am always available to support them. They are also happy to see that women can be fully invested at work, get responsibilities, and take care of at the same time as a family.

In my free time, I like traveling with my family, I practice Zumba and I’m learning a 4th language.
