About me
I’ve worked at companies within the events and festival spectrum that enabled me to embrace more effectively the course content for my degree. This training also allowed me to be clearer about which aspects of event management I may be able to specialise in and, perhaps more importantly, identify where I excel and where I can make improvements. I enjoyed these opportunities because they gave me the chance to experience real life and real time situations and an idea of the challenges that can present themselves. My opportunities with companies like AEI Group Ltd, Judgeday Ltd and OCL: Totem afforded me first hand experience in logistics, public relations and quality of service. And companies such as Hilltop Country House Ltd and Oakwood Events Ltd have helped to instill core values into my development, quality, efficiency and presentation. The support from the companies, and especially contemporaries and senior individuals I’ve been fortunate enough to work alongside, have been instrumental in reinforcing my belief that I will bring valuable insight, creative thinking, dependability and dedication to live events and the industry.
Work history
Artist Liaison
London, United KingdomFreelance
Working at the Mercury Prize Awards 2016 was a great insight to the behind the scenes running of another high-end awards show. It was a wonderful experience to see how different venues and companies organise themselves and the features of the event.
I was brought in to help coordinate one of the larger artist groups, and had a great time doing so. It was another important step to understanding the pieces of the puzzle, that come together to create such an event, in my mission to become a well rounded Event Manager ready to take on worldwide events.
Event Coordinator Assistant
Internship
AEI is a company that works mainly in YouTube branding and promotion. Recently the company began a Live Events team and I have been fortunate enough to come across and gain a position with them as an Intern Assistant to the Events Coordinator. The role is primarily logistics and involves keeping information up to date in spreadsheets regarding ticket sales, artist riders, invoices, flights, accommodation, set times and contact information. This also involves chasing up information that hasn't yet reached the company and keeping the office up to date on particular information. Further responsibilities in promotion, marketing and merchandising have been taken on in my time here as well as greater networking opportunities with departments and colleagues throughout the office. My time here so far has gone on to further confirm my passion for the events industry.
