Summary

I am a dynamic, proactive, highly motivated, and hard-working Event/Creative Producer looking to expand my experience within the creative industry.
I have an astute creative eye and an excellent ability to read and interpret a brief. I am organised, methodical, I work well under pressure and am always able to deliver within dedicated timeframes with ease.
I thrive in challenging environments and I’m not afraid to take control in scenarios where it is appropriate. I am comfortable client facing and pride myself on my communication and social skills. I consistently receive extremely positive feedback, both from colleagues and clients, on how approachable, accommodating and easy to work with I am.
What I love most is connecting all the elements to enable a project to come together from brief to execution.
