My understanding of business comes from operating within it — across ventures I co-founded, clients I served independently, and decisions I was fully accountable for. I co-founded a digital marketing agency, freelanced across 10+ client accounts, and built an AI automation venture from scratch. Across all of it, I handled real money — pricing, invoicing, P&L tracking, margin analysis. I made decisions that had consequences, including the decision to shut down a venture when the numbers said it wasn't worth continuing. That experience runs alongside three years of BBA, CMA USA prep, and hands-on work with Excel, financial reporting, and GPT-based automation tools. What I bring ▸Accounting foundation — financial reporting, budgeting, cost structures, variance analysis ▸Real business experience — P&L ownership, margin tracking, and financial decisions from actual ventures ▸GTM strategy — hands-on experience taking products to market, from positioning and user acquisition to early growth experiments across B2B and consumer ▸Tools — Excel, data analysis, AI-assisted workflow automation
