@ YouLend

Greater London, United Kingdom

I am a highly dedicated and ambitious young man determined to grow personally and professionally. Having moved to 4 different countries in the space of 6 years and working from the age of 12 allowed me to gain a strong work ethic as well as time management skills. It has also given me the ability to communicate with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. I am excellent at working under pressure with attention to detail, working in the hospitality and fintech industry have further refined these skills.
