About me
I'm a confident, passionate and driven young lady with high energy and a zest for life. I never do things half-heartedly, whatever I do, I give 100%, 100% of the time. I love a challenge, I thrive on building relationships and I pride myself on my honesty and commitment to people, jobs and dogs.
I have recently returned from New York City, my home for 6 life-changing years. Here, I launched a live music event series called Sofar Sounds, hosting pop-up gigs in unusual spaces around the world. I built the movement single-handedly from the ground up, soon managing a team of 15 people. Together we built the #1 city of 150+ worldwide.
For a living, my 5 year role in the Colour, Trend + Fashion Forecasting industry focused on sales and marketing. I managed over 100 cross-industry client accounts, developing strong and lasting relationships, many of whom will be friends for life!
My time in The Big Apple blessed me with rich life experiences and the confidence to seek out more. It taught me to be proactive, strong-willed, devoted and sincere. It's true what they say, if you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere!
Food is the way to my heart, music is the way to my soul and travel is the great love of my life.
