  • Inside Out - I have a strong interest in the music industry, so to enhance my knowledge and skill sets I set up a local music event called Inside Out. We host local events which host around 100-200 people. I use skills learnt within my job such as stakeholder management, organisation skills and budget management to organise and deliver these events, not only enhancing my skills but also my knowledge of the events industry.
