Summary

Through my diverse job experiences, including running and scaling a home service business, I’ve developed key skills in small business startup development and problem-solving. Managing employees gave me a deeper understanding of how to be a better employee, as I’ve been on the other side of that relationship and learned the importance of communication, accountability, and teamwork. These experiences have equipped me with strong leadership, adaptability, and practical business insights.
