About me
An events professional who has a proven record of managing complex, successful and challenging corporate events. I am extremely well organised, innovative and confident. I demonstrate proficiency in Microsoft packages and have great attention to detail. I am able to learn databases and/or in-house systems quickly and efficiently. In addition to my computer skills, I am a flexible, adaptable and self-motivated individual who can remain calm under pressure and solve problems with a smile. These mentioned skills allow me to work individually or within a team environment. I take a proactive approach to all situations and I am an assertive communicator. My ability to prioritize adequately enables me to complete tasks to deadline and produce thorough work of a high standard.
After working in the corporate events sector for three years, I am looking to make a transition into the live events industry. Currently looking for a role that will give me relevant experience.
