About me
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with a real passion and commitment to working in events management. I have experience planning, marketing and executing many different types of live events. From community gallery openings to international medical congresses, my employment experience so far has provided me with many transferable skills that are crucial for success in the events industry like excellent communication, interpersonal skills, a keen eye for detail and impeccable organisation. My main interest is arts and culture in events, as I believe that events are some of the most effective means of nourishing interest in new arts, artists, culture and creative people.
