Summary
Currently a highly-organised Sports Administrator ensuring the smooth running of the Sports Department at Latymer Upper School. Supporting the Director of Sport and various Heads of Sport, I am heavily involved in the day to day running of the department. I deal with the needs of pupils, parents and staff which takes discretion, tact and diplomacy. Prior to that I was a Receptionist/School Matron at a small Prep school in Richmond. I was the "front face" of the school. Extra training in first aid, and mental health disorders brought more to my skill set.
Prior to that - a dedicated Personal Assistant in a successful Corporate Finance firm working with high profile clients. Accustomed to working long hours when a deal was in progress. Flexibility and dependability were key - as well as the ability to deal with multiple consecutive demands.
Prior to that - I gained excellent and varied experience working for one of the top City banks. Having started as a Team PA I was approached by Corporate Events department and assist with marketing.
From College I worked as a Receptionist for a bridal design company in Milton Keynes.
