About Me
Hardworking learner with experience in cyber security, business management, general IT, social media management, event marketing and networking. Currently employed as an event marketer of Southampton venue, Suburbia, and owner of a clothing brand, innovating within the sector of social media and business whilst also recently graduating with a First degree from Solent University as a Cyber Security Management student.
​
I am heavily involved in the local music scene, where I used to play drums in a band, prior to Year 2 of University. I still play a lot of music and research it in my free time. More recently, I have become self-employed at my clothing company, this started off as a hobby but now is a financial venture which is successful. When I am not listening, making or researching music or working on my clothing brand, I will be watching sports such as Football and Professional wrestling.
