      Nice! It's great that you mention several activities you participate in to alleviate stress. You come across as active and well-rounded. Consider adding a sentence that mentions your ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure situations. Also, can you go into more detail about exactly how compartmentalizing helps you handle stress? Are there any tools, programs, or methodologies you use/follow to manage stress? Great job!
