My skills
I am a highly motivated individual that takes pride in their ability to work effectively and efficiently in a fast pace, growth orientated work environment; able to adapt quickly to new concepts and employment guidelines. My resilience helps with the active commitment made towards continuous improvement and high quality production standards. Not easily stressed by the numerous tasks and challenges faced on a daily basis; I find that reflecting upon my own actions helps me to develop my leadership skills further. By portraying a positive attitude and outlook towards life, I manage to spark inspiration well amongst others.
My most recent area of focus surrounds trying to develop artistic concepts that combine my interest in sustainability and conservation with technology for unique, unforgettable event experiences that don’t have negative impacts on the environment. I am looking for international inspiration that can improve these experiences in the future.
My key skills are event based work but I am currently searching for positions that offer variety as well as the opportunity to develop both personally and professionally so that I can continue to progress as a well-rounded individual. I am also looking to have fun and meet new people from around the world 🙂

About Me
I am a very optimistic individual who wants to see as much of the world as possible. One of my aims is to try and get as many different beautiful photos of the sky/sunrises/sunsets as possible in different countries around the world. I am fascinated by marine life - especially bio luminescent creatures. I love to swim and be in the outdoors. I am resourceful, creative and great at multi-tasking.
I organise my own events (SoundCrumpet, BrainDrill and Behind the Fridge - based in Bristol and Brighton UK) and have had experience working with many more established event companies/organisers/festivals.
I love to be around people and am also good at keeping to myself if need be 🙂
