Research
I like to think of myself as a bit of a finance aficionado. My curiosity knows no bounds, guiding me through a plethora of research endeavors across various disciplines, many of which take me down various rabbit holes. But to me, venturing into rabbit holes of research is like stumbling upon a treasure trove of fun surprises!
