Business & economics teacher and business leader, leveraging 25+ years to drive revenue growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m an advanced Business & Economics teacher with strong business leadership experience, and I’ve been delivering remote instruction since August 2022. I tailor teaching for adults and children using digital tools to improve engagement and practical understanding.
Across hospitality, imports/exports, and education, I’ve led teams, owned and operated businesses, and managed day-to-day operations with a focus on continuity and results. From General Manager to Restaurant Manager, I’ve trained staff, developed menus and experiences, and helped drive record revenue during high-demand periods.
I also bring a proven commercial background in sales leadership—overseeing international trade, key accounts, and supply-chain efficiency in Europe and the UK. Since entering cryptocurrency in 2017, I apply fundamental and technical analysis to support both day trading and long-term investing, and I’m excited to keep combining strategy, teaching, and performance.
