About me

Having been made redundant from my most recent events role due to coronavirus, I am actively seeking a new opportunity to re-enter this field. I'm experienced in events administration, sales, and end-to-end organisation/delivery. I have excellent organisation and communication skills, proficient I.T. knowledge and a good grasp of social media.
