Summary

I have always been a people person and excel in fast paced environments. My organisational skills are one of my best qualities and I am efficient in adapting to new roles. I pride myself in my interpersonal skills and conduct tasks given to me to the highest standard, meaning I am able to access situations and work well within a team, but also enjoy working independently and taking initiative. I am confident in my work and enjoy facing new challenges to continually broaden my already extensive experience. Overall some of my finest strengths are pride in my work and ability to understand and use new information quickly, as I am a fast and competent learner. After working in customer service roles from a young age, to gaining an Honours Degree at University and becoming a Corporate Event Executive, within 6 months I was promoted to Event Manager and have planned, organised and delivered successful business to business events across the country.
