About me

I have over 8 years’ worth of PA experience during which time I have worked for senior Directors/Executives that work globally so being well organised, efficient and able to think ahead have been critical for both their effectiveness and my own. I'm very flexible in terms of work location and hours of work to accommodate the need of global Directors. I like working as part of the team but my role has also enabled me to become pretty independent and self-sufficient. I have also come to really develop a passion and enthusiasm for managing events & projects, show casing my creativity & organisational skills. I have been fortunate enough to work with a couple of organisations in my spare time to give me the opportunity to gain end to end events & project experience.
