I am a reliable, conscientious and hard-working person; who thrives under pressure. In approaching any task I am determined and flexible, and strive to achieve the best possible outcome.
In previous roles I have enjoyed providing creative solutions to problems. A strategic thinker, I have a common sense approach and use these qualities to plan and organise tasks, ensuring priorities are identified and milestones met.
I work well as part of a team, building strong relationships with my colleagues and making sure everyone is included in the decision making process by being influential and empathic.
I have been fortunate enough to travel to a variety of countries including China, Iceland, Abu Dhabi and Peru as well as several places Europe.
I love listening to music, playing piano and clarinet and going to concerts. I am a keen cook, seamstress and a very creative person.

Administrator / General ManagerRNSS
- London, United KingdomFull Time
Initially I was brought on as the Administrator and have since taken on the Bookkeeping responsibilities too. I oversee the smooth running of the day-to-day operations of the business such as maintaining stock levels, planning logistics and liaising between the entire team to assist as required. I have developed a good knowledge of our operational software ‘easyjob’ so I am able to book in jobs and resources, generate quotes, build load lists and create reports (as well as editing the construction of the reports where necessary). A big part of my job is the financial aspect; I am responsible for producing invoices, chasing debtors, inputting purchase invoices, creating payment runs, bank reconciliations and preparing the accounts for the annual audits by our accountants. We also undergo annual ISO and Safe Contractor audits which require a substantial provision of data including current insurance policies, fleet inspections and health & safety policies; all of which I ensure are kept up to date and are filled appropriately.

I was brought on board to assist with the launch of the VIP Club. My main role in the station was to look after the listeners. I set up databases to keep track of all the VIPs and for payments (PayPal, Direct Debit, Standing Orders, Bank Transfers and Cheques) for the VIP Club and made sure they could all connect, listen and access all the features. I also helped out with administration in the station office on a day to day basis, took minutes in station meetings and liaised with record companies and management companies when required. Attention to detail was vital to make sure our VIPs were looked after and remain loyal to the station.
