About me
I am a very fast learner who relishes learning new skills and meeting new people. I tend to thrive in social situations and know how to develop a casual rapport with almost anyone whilst remaining highly professional and focused.
My cultural awareness and lateral thinking skills are both particularly strong and I enjoy overcoming challenges with finesse. I have always enjoyed keeping up to date with social trends and emerging technology, as I believe we are living within the most rapidly evolving society in history. With this in mind, I tend to be very creative and enjoy discovering new, unorthodox solutions to problems.
Projects
- The Magic Bus London Gala 2011Durring my time in the London offices of Magic Bus I played an instrumental role in the planning and execution of the Magic Bus Fundraising Gala 2011, an event which was attended exclusively by high profile figures from the worlds of sport, government and entertainment and held at the prestigious Dorchester Hotel. My responsibilities as an intern included attending meetings with highly respected professionals and public figures on the PR, logistics, comms and brand strategies of the gala and taking detailed minutes as well as contributing creatively to the conceptualising process.
- Next Step Sport for Development Conference 2007In the summer of 2007, at the age of 18, I flew out to Namibia where I lived with a local family, the father of whom was an important figure in the world of Namibian sport. For just over two months I lived and worked with him and UK Sport, the local sports authorities and several top global stars, brands and government leaders in order to promote, plan and organise one of the largest international development events in the world.
Work history
Account Executive
-
In May 2016 I joined the team at Kaizo, an independent, award-winning top 50 PR agency, as an Account Executive focusing on the Technology sector.
This role has allowed me to develop my communications and account management skills whilst building awareness and generating media interest for B2B tech brands in cloud, enterprise, software, big data, security, and storage. I have also had the opportunity here to get involved with B2C and consumer/lifestyle work.
Intern
-
An excellent learning opportunity within a dynamic and knowledgeable team, this internship taught me a vast range of skills and greatly boosted my understanding of corporate affairs, particularly in the areas of Finance and the Healthcare industry. This allowed me to greatly develop my commercial awareness alongside my existing language and creative skills.
I greatly enjoyed my time at CSC where I gained vital PR/IR experience through working on IPOs, financial communications, global healthcare events, crisis management and rebranding strategy. My responsibilities included performing research and market analysis, drafting press releases and investor relations copy, attendance of board meetings, designing corporate presentations, organising and attending conferences and seminars, maintaining various live databases and providing general support to every member of the team as and when it was required.
