I work towards maintaining an active lifestyle, following a healthy diet while giving my mind and body ample rest and respect, so that I can always put my best foot forward in everything I do. Which is why I'm proud to be the face and voice of Westin’s ‘Let’s Rise’ campaign, a concept which is in line with my thinking. Looking forward to the association.”
