Summary

I’ve had an unconventional journey—from supporting young people in SEN schools to signing a record deal with Warner Music and performing across the country. Over the years, I’ve found myself constantly building, learning, and helping others, whether that’s through creative projects or developing systems that make businesses run smoother. These days, I focus on tech and automation, especially for healthcare and service-based businesses, where I design internal tools that actually make people’s lives easier. I’m hands-on, solutions-focused, and not afraid to figure things out as I go. No long list of degrees here—just a proven track record of adapting, solving problems, and getting results wherever I go.
