Tamborine Mountain,QLD

Summary

I am a vibrant 36-year-old professional with a strong passion for the events industry, backed by extensive experience coordinating and managing a wide range of events-from weddings to high-profile corporate functions both interstate and internationally. I pride myself on being hardworking, highly organised, and someone who truly thrives in a fast-paced environment. In 2018, I embraced a new chapter of my life: motherhood. Now a proud mum of two beautiful children, this personal journey has ignited a strong interest in the well-being and development of children. It has inspired me to explore a new career path where I can help young people grow, flourish, and become the best version of themselves. While I may not yet hold formal qualifications in this space, I am deeply committed to pursuing the necessary education and experience to hopefully contribute meaningfully to this field.
