About me
I am an experienced events and project management professional with over 20 years' experience within the professional associations, medical charity and pharmaceutical sectors. Although I do believe these skills are transferable to most event environments. I have proven demonstrable skills for delivering projects from inception to delivery. Effective leadership skills and proven organisational ability within diverse and challenging settings. A flexible can-do attitude to facilitate clients’ objectives and targets in programme and event delivery. I have exceptional interpersonal, written communications and time management skills. I am proficient in Microsoft Office tools and most social media sites. I am also a trained NLP practitioner. Outside of managing projects I love anything to do with the arts - from visiting art galleries to visiting museums.
