EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
Having launched multiple startups and managing other small businesses, I have had positions where it was crucial that I was able to wear many hats simultaneously even under sometimes tumultuous circumstances. Because of this, I have accumulated a wide breadth of practical business knowledge and an overall understanding of the ins and outs of the business process. From ideation to actualization, I have been responsible for managing nearly every facet of business at one point or another. This rich experience has allowed me to be adaptable and malleable when the need arises.
Of course, I have had more honed-in experience in certain facets. Most recently, those being agile program management, product management, and automation integration / process improvement (alongside my Advance Yourself Integrated Wellness & Development consulting).
