• How do you like to spend your free time?

Staying active—both physically and mentally—keeps my mind sharp and alert. My hobby is photography; I read books on the subject and have all the necessary equipment. I’m still searching for my favorite genre... I love spending time with the people who matter most to me—traveling, meeting up with friends, going for walks, and visiting interesting places and landmarks. And last but not least—taking on parental responsibilities—sometimes through play and laughter, other times with discipline and explanations.

• What excites you?

The sense of a job well done and the ability to make someone feel good.

• Why did you choose this profession?

I didn't choose this profession; it chose me.
