About me
As a successful Entrepreneur and Owner, I have designed and created many small and large scale events throughout England and internationally.
I am a well presented, highly personable and efficient event organiser who has the ability to work independently in a changing enviroment with numerous and competing deadlines. With my excellent communication skills I am comfortable working in a fast paced, hands-on, growth orientated environment.
I have organised collaborations with many national and international events, including Brighton Pride, Pride In London, Girlie Circuit, Barcelona, Alpha Girls, Germany and Dinah Shore, California. In 2013 I launched two hugely successful annual events, London Winter Pride Music Festival in partnership with Smirnoff and Winter Pride Arts Festival.
I am currently working with Bulmers to activate their cider flavours over Pride in London week.
