About me
A mum to an enthusiastic Marvel fan, have been working part time as a tour guide at Principality Stadium while my son was little, but now he's in school full time I'm craving a return to full time work and relishing the prospect of a new challenge. I enjoy a good book, a good film, good food, a good pint of Guinness and a good rugby match.

    Tour GuideWRU
    Cardiff, United KingdomFull Time
    I started work part time as a tour guide at Principality Stadium in 2016. Day to day I take tourists around the stadium and explain about it's history, technical features and impart information on the history of the WRU and what the Welsh Rugby team do on a match day. It is a job that I do enjoy very much and one which has afforded me many fantastic opportunities to work big events such as the Six Nations Championships, the Autumn Series, the Anthony Joshua Boxing match, Take That, Ed Sheeran, The Rolling Stones, Wales Football Matches and the UEFA Champions League Final. I have worked in many different areas: ticketing, hosting members events, media runner, reporter, retail unit supervisor and as a mascot chaperone. I enjoy being part of the buzz of the events and have enjoyed every moment - even at 2am!

    I worked mainly from home in West Wales apart from when we needed to be on location or attend meetings. This saw me travel to London, Essex, Bucks, Aberystwyth, Cardiff and Llantwit Major. My role involved organising meetings with casting agents for my boss, acquiring contacts, negotiating a sales agreement, meeting with actors, casting, location scouting, trouble shooting, catering and accommodation, transportation and event planning.
