I excel at developing agendas, logistics strategies and budgets, coordinating international teams and vendors, and resolving real-time challenges to ensure flawless operations.

My work includes executing 40+ large-scale events across FMCG, pharmaceutical, technology, healthcare and finance clients, designing marketing and promotional plans, and delivering high-volume food and beverage service while maintaining top-tier guest experience.
