Summary

Date of birth: 01/10/1999


Working in social media since graduating University in 2022, I'm seeking a new challenge after taking a bit of time out.


Getting back into the industry is now my paramount aim. I've had some time to evaluate my career and figure out what I want my future to look like. I'm ready to dive back into the social industry, and I can't wait.


Since leaving Uni, I have always worked from home and I feel it's now time for a change.


Growing up with a stammer, working remote has hindered this. To be up and out of the house most days is something I need to get the very best version of myself.
