Summary

With over a decade of consistently delivering high quality client experiences resulting in repeat business and market expansion, I have excelled in my industry.


Combining a love for building relationships, excellent communication skills and ability to chase project goals with enthusiasm, I have built a very successful career in the travel industry space.


Outside of this, I have also demonstrated a passion and a skillset in hosting, facilitating and entertaining - specifically in the sports, health & wellness space.


I have a history of positive client feedback, and can demonstrate an unparalleled skillset in both verbal & written communication to help me not only stand out from the pack so to speak, but perhaps importantly help my colleagues, employers, and all involved to reach desirable outcomes.
