Summary
Having gained experience in running events, marketing, finance and sales, I have been able to watch so many brands grow over the years whilst working for them. I have enjoyed being a part of this growth, whether I have been working independently or as a team. I have acquired the necessary skills to adapt to varying situations whilst remaining composed. I have excellent written and verbal communication skills and react well when meeting new people and in challenging situations. I consistently demonstrate a high level of organisational skills, and am enthusiastic, with a continuing willingness to learn and develop. I have the ability to work under minimal or no supervision and to meet deadlines.
