About Myself
Hey there, I'm Thom, and welcome to my portfolio! From a young age, I've been passionate about creativity and building things with my hands. My journey through Algonquin College cemented my desire to pursue a career in content creation and design. With an insatiable appetite for learning, I'm always exploring new ideas and honing my craft, whether I'm out in nature or enjoying a cozy indoor day.
My enthusiasm for learning and growing has led me through some challenging yet enlightening experiences. These hard-earned lessons have taught me the value of perseverance and dedication. Over the past year, I've been building an online presence, particularly on TikTok and YouTube, where I share captivating content about beautiful Ontario and modern dating life advice. What started as a hobby has blossomed into a passion, with my follower count nearing the 20,000 mark.
This journey has inspired me to delve deeper into YouTube, focusing on becoming a modern dating life coach. I'm incredibly passionate about understanding the dynamics of modern relationships and sharing insights on how they evolve.
Professionally, I work in the security sector, which offers ample free time during unconventional shifts. I make the most of this time by reading, listening to podcasts, and continuously expanding my knowledge. I strive to balance enjoyment and meaningful pursuits, always aiming to use my time wisely.
Looking ahead, I aspire to leave a positive impact on the world. While the exact path is still unfolding, I am confident that my dedication to kindness, empathy, loyalty, respect, and making meaningful contributions will guide me towards making a difference.
