About me
A highly experienced individual with over 5 years of Executive/Personal Assistant Experience, as well as Events Coordination, Office Management and wider Operations experience.
I value bringing something new when joining a business and I am looking forward to exploring new opportunities. I have always worked for C-Suite and above (CEO’s with OBE’s, Head Civil Servants, Directors, Managing Directors). I pride myself on being the face of a business as well as the gateway between top level and the team - as well as being able to build and maintain relationships between internal and external stakeholders.
The sectors I have worked in have included the Public Sector and Hospitality so far, but I am open to any industry that will allow me to make a difference. Ultimately, I would love to be part of a team that has incredible values, open communication, and where I can share my ideas for the good of the business.
