About me
I am a confident and outgoing individual with a passion for culture, creativity, travel, and events. Working in several roles alongside my studies, I am highly capable of working as part of a team and with B2B, B2C and VIP clients. I am proficient in Microsoft Office, Google Apps, and have experience with a variety of booking systems, including Kinetic Solutions and CABS. I take pride in my work and always strive to achieve the highest possible results for my team and clients in the projects I work on, by upholding a high attention to detail and remaining professional at all times. I enjoy problem solving, facing new challenges and being placed under pressure as they all provide the opportunity to further my knowledge and experience.
