Summary

Built a successful online social media platform where we specialized in the buying and selling of luxury items ranging from sports cards, sneakers, clothing, watches. Majority focus on sneakers. Starting in 2017 we made the decision to professionalize the business. Over the years I’ve gained first hand experience in time management-learning to balance a business and school, customer service-finalizing thousands of successful transactions ensure the customers security throughout the process, account management-managing cash flow throughout the years to make sure each quarter we turned a substantial profit ranging from 13-34% per quarter in profits, as well as handling and shipping products globally taking the correct steps to insure each and every package in the result of an incident both myself and the customer are covered for our losses.
