SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

Tommy is always working on something—whether it’s building his small business, experimenting with content creation, or learning a new skill. He’s curious, community-minded, and thrives on growth (and maybe a little too much bubble tea). His screen time is mostly “market research”—or at least that’s what he tells himself.
