About me

I have recently been working as a teacher of Art, Photography and Graphic Design, however after 6 years I have decided to change career path and I am extremely excited about the prospect of moving in to the creative events industry. Despite my most recent experience being in the public sector, I am confident that I can bring many transferable skills with me. I am particularly interested in working in a more commercial role because of my passion for organising and managing events, something I’ve had experience of during my time in my retail and teaching career as well as my personal life. I believe that this experience, coupled with my excellent interpersonal and organisational skills, make me the perfect candidate for a role in creative event planning. I am ready for a new challenge.
