Summary

I have recently moved to Australia (skilled- -independent subclass 189 visa) and I am searching for an opportunity to kickstart a career within the events industry. I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2020 with BSc in International Events Management. At the time it was very difficult to be able to progress within the sector due to the impact covid had on the industry. However, my experience at Tankersley Manor, my degree and the key skills I have gained within the past 3 years have collectively provided me with a rich and vast skillset to take into an events management role. I would describe myself as a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. I have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy.
