My name’s Katie, I live in London and work in events. I have experience in a wide variety of different sectors of the events industry but my specialist areas are artist liaison, alternative weddings and corporate event management. I like making lists, wine, cooking soup and Rupaul’s Drag Race.
I have a BA in Managing Major and Cultural Events and a HND in Events Management. I began my career working with corporate clients to create stand out events which differed from their usual office parties. I then went on to work on festival sites in a variety of different roles from bar management through to artist liaison. In order to expand my portfolio, I went on to work for a venue in Leeds which plays host to an eclectic mix of events. My biggest assets are my extremely detailed spreadsheets and my calming disposition.
