About me

In the last year I have learnt vast amounts working as a PA for the director of Sweet and Dandy and in helping run the Arts Festival that is curated by her. I would love to take what I have learnt and, in moving back to London, apply this in a larger context to not only further my career, but to also broaden my understanding of businesses in the creative industry and give myself a new challenge. I am friendly yet professional, easy to get along with and always willing to work extremely hard.
