A highly organised and creative professional with over 15 years of experience in planning, coordinating and delivering structured environments within education. Alongside a successful teaching career, I have developed a strong passion for event planning, recently demonstrated through the detailed organisation of a large family wedding. I thrive under pressure, manage multiple priorities effectively and take pride in creating memorable, meaningful experiences. I am now seeking to transition into a wedding planning role where I can apply my organisational skills, attention to detail and enthusiasm for delivering exceptional events.
