HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

Aside from Dentistry, I immensely enjoy general social activities. I am proudly one of the founders of a local community group in Newcastle. “Nineveh” society is a big group of families with similar interests that meet every weekend with variety of social activities. Members of the group are of wide range of ages varying from children to elderly. Sport-wise, I am interested in all kinds of sports especially swimming, football, volleyball and table tennis and I was a captain of a local volleyball team that plays friendly matches on regular intervals. This further developed my team-leading skills. Travelling for me is a delight. I enjoy both national and international journeys and I travel whenever time allows. Visiting and living in several countries gave me the opportunity to learn more about different cultures and how they can integrate together.
