Direct Client (UK) 2022 - 2025
As a dedicated personal assistant to a crypto and NFT trader, I supported a high-paced, results-driven individual in navigating the dynamic worlds of cryptocurrency trading and non-fungible token (NFT) markets. My responsibilities spanned operational support, market research, transaction management, and community engagement, ensuring seamless execution of trading strategies and NFT-related activities. With hands-on experience in the Web3 ecosystem, I developed a strong understanding of blockchain technology, decentralized platforms, and digital asset workflows, enabling me to anticipate needs and deliver efficient, reliable assistance.
