About me
Having worked in office management, event coordination, customer service, logistics and publishing, I have a breadth of knowledge and expertise to apply to the creative workplace, from a solutions-based angle. Providing strategy, implementing financial models and ensuring communications between departments is a top priority of mine to ensure maximum progress and efficiency for everyone. I take an active interest in architecture, film, art and fashion. It is the integrity behind artistic projects that spurs me on to work in the operational side of the cultural sphere.
