Summary

I’m an entrepreneur at heart with a strong passion for business, growth, and human connection. I’ve always been drawn to how businesses operate, scale, and adapt — and I thrive in environments where I can contribute to that process. With hands-on experience running my own successful clothing brand, I’ve developed a business-minded approach to problem-solving, marketing, and customer engagement. I genuinely enjoy interacting with people, whether it’s through sales, service, or collaboration, and I bring energy, curiosity, and drive to every opportunity I pursue.
