Summary

I'm a passionate lover of animals, nature, and music and would describe myself as kind, warm and attentive with a can-do attitude. Previously an administrative professional with experience in a variety of fields, I'm now looking to focus my energy on gaining more hands-on experience in music and events management. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality events, and enthusiastic about supporting artists, and working collaboratively with industry partners to create exceptional experiences and I hope to refine my skills in a role that allows me to step up to new responsibilities in the field.
