Summary

An energetic, capable, enthusiastic and adaptable individual, I have developed exceptional multi-tasking and organisational skills gained through working in various parts of the media industry for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience to date in the film and photography industry, and being a filmmaker myself, I am very aware of the requirements to be an multi-faceted content creator, producer and team leader. Whilst I enjoyed working in this fast moving, inspiring and creative environment, I refocused my skills towards a path that I will find more fulfilling, and I truly believed I would find that in horticulture. Horticulture has been a hobby of mine for many years, so I took the opportunity to take my passion and mold it into a career. I joined Plant Plan nearly two years ago, and have developed good knowledge of interior plants, their care and nuances. I has been a fantastic learning curve, full of discovery, creativity and opportunity, and not I'm ready to move on to the next stage of my journey through horticulture.


I am happy to step up to whatever task is required, fully adapting to given scenarios and responsibilities - I am more than happy to exude a 'wearer of all hats' outlook, assisting and leading wherever is needed. I have proven capability in both team and time management and I have good interpersonal skills proven through my roles with high profile clients. I am charismatic and very good at client and customer facing interactions, I build a quick rapport with others and I am always willing to go above and beyond to help. I embrace a challenge and I'm always looking to learn new skills and better myself, thriving on a exemplary outcome for both myself and client.

I have a deep rooted belief in dispelling the stigma that plant care is difficult or unobtainable for people with no experience- a cause I already promote in my personal circle, encouraging friends to become green fingered and improve their environment and health. I also have a full clean driving license.
