My skills
Attending events always made me excited and after roaming around in different areas, I realised working in events would be what I wanted to do. I really enjoy the fast paced and energetic feel events have, and I love being a part of it.
Having travel around the world and experiences many different cultures, languages and traditions have giving me a good understanding and acceptant of people and their values and believes. Been living on my own, managing, planning and having to adapt and make quick decisions in various situations have thought me many valuable skills I believe is useful in both personal and professional life.
I am a highly motivated events professional offering an excellent service all round events, from organising and marketing till running and liaising. Recently finished an Event Management Course and having various experiences working at different events throughout the years, have giving me a good practical and theoretical understanding of events.
