My current role involves managing a wide range of high-end, creative events for an elite international law firm.
I am passionate about the Arts and have launched a blog www.atticsaltlondon.com to get more people into theatres. I am keen to widen my scope and network within the Arts and Philanthropic sectors.
Some of my most rewarding experiences have been while volunteering, including managing a series of events for UN Women NC UK, weekly French tutor sessions with disadvantaged students via The Access Project and building a programme of fundraising events for an Employee Charity Committee.
This year I am pleased to be a mentee on the Fast Forward 15 Programme, an events-specific mentoring initiative for 15 aspiring leaders in the events industry.
