I supervised international students aged 9–16, ensuring their safety, wellbeing, and timely attendance at lessons and activities. I supported students from diverse cultural backgrounds, acting as first point of contact for any concerns and escalating sensitive issues such as bullying to senior staff when necessary. The position required me to help coordinate daily schedules, monitor attendance, and encourage an inclusive, supportive environment where students could build friendships and thrive.

My role involved mixing and serving drinks at the bar, coordinating with the kitchen to ensure timely service, and anticipating guest needs to provide a seamless and memorable experience.

Following my work in Sweden I was invited to do a month long internship at HQ. This involved supporting the team by researching and booking flights for technicians attending upcoming races and rallies, organising stock for the race truck to ensure everything was prepared for test and race days, and managing client communications and information for a company-run rally. I also provided day-to-day operational support, handling tasks such as preparing equipment, cleaning helmets, and managing race kit logistics, ensuring the smooth running of both client and team needs.

Following my contribution to the AES Conference in Edinburgh, I was invited back the following year to support their annual conference, this time held in Bordeaux.

My reappointment reflected the confidence placed in my organisational skills, professionalism, and ability to represent the society to an international audience.

After my week of work experience at HQ. I was invited to work in Sweden for a week with a company specialising in Porsche 911 ice driving, supporting their exclusive winter event. During this time, I worked closely with the main Event Coordinator, gaining valuable insight into the planning and delivery of a high-profile international experience. My role involved assisting with hospitality by preparing coffees, providing snacks, and engaging with clients to ensure a welcoming and professional atmosphere. I also observed and contributed to the smooth running of the driving sessions, learning how the team managed logistics, client flow, and safety on the ice. This opportunity allowed me to develop my customer service, adaptability, and teamwork skills in a fast-paced and premium environment.

During my one-week work experience placement with the Events Management Team, I supported preparations for an international rally taking place in Sweden by collecting and organising client information.

I was invited to work as an assistant to the organiser at the Agricultural Economics Society (AES) Conference, held at the University of Edinburgh over three days. In this role, I supported the smooth running of the event by registering delegates on arrival, acting as a first point of contact for queries, and providing ongoing assistance to participants throughout the conference.
