Summary

Recent Economics and Finance graduate with diverse experience across hospitality, event management, and consultancy. Demonstrated strong analytical, communication, and teamworking skills through a successful undergraduate consultancy project for Taylor Woodrow, where I co-developed a social value strategy to support community well-being and environmental sustainability in Newcastle. This included stakeholder mapping, cost–benefit analysis, and designing initiatives with lasting social impact. Proven ability to thrive in dynamic, high-pressure environments through frontline roles in busy pubs, nightclubs, and outdoor venues, and experience as a football referee requiring confident decision-making and conflict resolution. Highly adaptable, people-focused, and motivated to apply analytical thinking and real-world experience to roles in business, operations, or public service.
