Work History

Business Owner

Self Employed
01.2023 - Current

Throughout 2024 I have been exclusively self-employed. I had grown an ecommerce business I've had for some years as well as started and grown a vending business. Both of these are now almost entirely passive and I'm now seeking a more collaborative and engaging occupation.
