Summary

I have had the pleasure of leading and being a part of teams and committees, serving the communities that have shaped me over the years. Have handled and co-ordinated large-scale logistical operations from professional charity dinners at established venues to aid distribution projects for the homeless in Manchester. My ability to communicate with members of my team has been refined through the years of event co-ordination, and my people-skills have been strengthened through hosting dinners and auctions, ticket selling, and event-planning communication channels. Alongside this, my general skills have been growing in scope through publicity and media work, volunteering as a coach for young children in the nationwide All-Stars cricket programme, as well as skills picked up volunteering in my local community library in all sectors of operation.
