About me
Event Management graduate with additional PRINCE2 qualification. Since graduating three years ago, I have worked in roles that have enabled me to build on the skills I already have and learn new ones whilst also realising that the industry I am most interested in is advertising. I have spent the last year travelling around New Zealand and Australia and am now looking for a foot in the door of the marketing world.

Education
2:1 Bachelor of Arts with Honours degree in Event Management
- Chester, United Kingdom
During my 3 years at University, I built up a substantial amount of knowledge of the Event industry; how it works, how it's progressed over the years and the importance of it within various contexts. However, I also learnt about business, marketing and law as these are topics which are strongly associated with the industry.
Whilst studying, I was invited to attend a PRINCE2 Practitioner course as a result of achieving top grades within my graduating class. This additional project management qualification has been very helpful in the various positions that I have held since graduating as it is one that can be adapted to any situation.
