About me
A focused Tourism and Events Management graduate with a 2:1 degree, specialising in Events Management. Possesses relevant professional experience gained during work experience with a leading global hotel company.

It enabled the determination to balance multiple competing priorities, having worked part-time for three years at British Airways whilst still achieving strict deadlines for submission of assignments. Aiming to secure a place in a position within an organisation which will provide commercial exposure and opportunities for progression for my career.
