Summary
I am a performance professional with years of experience both within Haven and outside. This has given me extensive knowledge of how to effectively run and deliver top quality entertainment for your guests and holiday home owners. I have previous experience effectively leading teams both in and outside of the entertainment industry with students and team members of all ages and backgrounds. This helped me develop a flexible leadership style that can be adapted to a variety of teams. As a result of this I have had previous managers formally recommend that I progress to higher level leadership roles. I am ambitious and believe this opportunity will help me further develop my skills and continue my career at Haven.
