About me
Business and Events Management Second Year Student with a keen eye for detail; currently seeking Event internship opportunities within events, communications and PR. Results driven and a proactive member of the team, I am able to adapt myself to a variety of challenging situations. I am motivated by optimistic goals and hugely passionate about working with creative, like minded individuals; making people happy and offering an experience to clients is what I strive to achieve. Last summer I was selected to represent the Bath Business School on a recce trip to Italy, the aim was to meet with Italian businesses to establish a relationship with them before working with them on a future project to bring a group of Bath Spa students over to Italy in the next academic year. This experience taught me about the importance of marketing, building your brand, how different cultures do business, evolving your strategy with time and how business operates on a global level. I thoroughly enjoyed talking all things business in Italy and I now aspire to have a career that allows me to travel; I am currently teaching myself Spanish to enhance my communication skills abroad. Outside of studying I have a colourful social life and enjoy learning new things, I am currently a member of Bath Spa’s DJ’ing society, Sublime. I also go to an Ariel Circus class at Bristol’s Circus University; Circomedia. I worked with some amazing circus performers whilst I was working as a Stage Manager at Boomtown Fair and was so inspired by them that I have decided to start an evening class myself! I’m also a huge fan of art and love exploring museums and exhibitions if given the opportunity, I was lucky enough to visit the Picasso and Warhol museum in Spain last summer which really inspired me creatively.
