About me

Highly motivated and experienced Executive Assistant and Event Manager – I have a real passion for people, creativity and organisation. I enjoy producing a slick week-to-week diary for executives and therefore increasing colleagues’ efficiency and productivity. Included in this are well executed large meetings, events and conferences – I like to add a personal touch wherever possible. With a strong eye for detail and design I am highly skilled in Microsoft Office Suite, and possess a particular knack for producing eye catching PowerPoint and Prezi presentations. I excel in managing all kinds of people, writing copy for websites, events, social media etc. and thoroughly enjoy public speaking and running training courses for various subjects. Offering 7 years’ experience within events, secretarial and project management-based roles, I am looking for my next role where I can use my skills to make a real impact on a business, make it better and carry on learning while doing so. Coming from a theatre and performance background and training I can't wait to use those skills to meet new people and also work in a sector that is creative and fast paced.
