Bartending to building companies.
I believe changing your environment is the single most effective way to actually change your life. Liverpool changed mine.
I was an orphan. I got a second chance at a normal life when my dad adopted me. He came to the UK with nothing and worked himself to the bone, and still does, to give my brother and me a real shot. Everything I build is me refusing to waste it.
Moved for university, stayed ever since. Graduated with a bachelor's in Criminology and Business.
First bartending job with zero experience. I was hungry to progress: Head Bartender within six months, Regional Bar Trainer six months after that. Proof I could learn fast. Not proof I was in the right place.
Shot for a General Manager role on Bold Street and landed Assistant GM. Burnt out fast: I had set my sights higher than my skill-set could support. The setback forced the question the jobs never asked. What do I actually want to build?
Invested in myself: courses in marketing, web design and sales, then a string of small ventures to practise on. Most of them are in the Graveyard above. All of them were tuition.
Co-founded from my co-founder's own story, to make the UK a less lonely place for women. Two years on: a 200,000-strong community across four UK cities, and growing.
The other half of the picture: an AI operating system so UK businesses can run without their owners. Born from watching owners trapped inside their own companies, and from living the pain myself.
