I am a driven, confident and passionate individual, looking for a role in event management, branding or marketing.
In my most recent position I was a Senior Account Manager at Event Concept, a high-end event production agency based in London. Here I have led teams across various scales of events, including the company's largest event to date, collaborating and managing different departments such as the creative, technical and scenic design team. My role also involved curating pitch documents, writing copy, presenting and maintaining client relationships throughout the start to finish event process.
During this time, I have also been working on a novel, and attended the competitive Faber Academy Writing a Novel Course (graduated June 2018). This course is highly-regarded within the publishing industry and has expanded my writing, creative and presenting skills.
In my previous positions I worked as an Account Manager at Sixstar World, a venue finding agency for roadshows and conferences. Here I took on many senior roles within the business and grew my venue finding, account management and marketing skills exponentially. In my second fulltime role, I joined Total Management as an Account Manager where I worked on international events both as event lead and collaboratively. In this position, I was also a key player in the launch of The Away Collection, liaising with over 200+ properties, writing copy and up keeping the website.
I am eager to continue my work within the events industry, to be challenged, to learn and to grow.
