What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work where I can apply my business management, client communication, organisational, teaching, and financial tracking skills while taking ownership of day-to-day responsibilities.

I co-own and help run Happy Place, an independent ice cream business, managing operations and growth.

I oversee product development, pricing, supplier sourcing, order fulfilment, marketing, and customer engagement. I also manage costing, sales tracking, and profitability.

Through freelance client projects, I’ve developed strong self-management, communication, and remote delivery skills. I’m comfortable independently managing timelines and deliverables across varied assignments.

I’ve also worked as a home tutor, creating tailored lesson plans and tracking student progress. My background combines social sciences, management coursework, entrepreneurship, teaching, and client relations.
