About me
My current day-to-day duties involve administrative duties and managing all events and social media accounts across multiple platforms for the business. I play a pivotal role in the creation and successful execution of each individual event (end to end management), ranging from music nights to corporate meetings. I enjoy the creative aspect of my role, where I can use my own initiative and build relationships/network by meeting new people from new clients to brand ambassadors.
I have utilised skills learnt at university, where I gained a degree in Music, Events management and Socialnomics, in both my previous role at Live Nation and my current role at Youngs, The Windmill. These skills include promotion, interaction and account management.
I am use to a fast moving, hands on environment. I am use to dealing with all kinds of events, from music, meetings and weddings. I thrive in a busy business with a great can-do attitude towards everything I do ultising my highly exceptional planning and organisaitonal skills.
