In the hero's journey, resourcefulness, technical mastery, and teamwork are essential. My experiences teaching, working with startups, and interviewing agile project managers have prepared me for the next phase of my journey. As a freelancer, I've honed the skills that led to: - 749% ARR growth over three years for Retrium, - 100% ARR growth in seven months for ArchiveSocial, and - 197% growth in content output in three months for CheckSammy. While I may not wield a sword, I bring a creative edge to my work, using data and innovation to drive value with my team. Let's go on an adventure together.
