Summary
I have a diverse background that combines professional sports, entrepreneurship, and business management. I began my career as a national athlete with the Canadian national team where I developed strong skills in discipline, teamwork, and leadership. After transitioning from sports, I co-founded a successful business that generated over $500,000 in revenue this past year, where I focused on strategic planning, financial oversight, and operations. Currently, I manage Popeye Supplements, handling day-to-day operations, accounting, bookkeeping, and staff management. My adaptability and commitment to excellence drive my success across different roles.
