    <h2>The Short Version</h2>
    <p>
      I have a deep-rooted history in retail and hospitality leadership. 
      I believe the best digital products are built by listening to the people who use them. Whether it’s managing a community of thousands or retail operations, my focus is always on <strong>clarity, reliability, and human-centric service.</strong>
    </p>
    <p>Recently I have started dipping my toes into the world of web development. It's something I've always been interested in and I'm excited to see where it takes me.</p>

<h2>Professionally Speaking...</h2>
<p>I work in a high-street retail store in a middle-management role.</p>
