Ambitious marketing and PR graduate with extensive hospitality experience.
What I'm looking for
As a Marketing & PR graduate with 13 years of experience in the events and hospitality sector, I am a highly motivated and career-driven individual. My recent role as a UCR Agent for the DWP has solidified my desire to work as a civil servant, where I can positively impact my community. I thrive in team environments but also excel when working independently, bringing a unique touch to every position I hold.
Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in hospitality management, customer satisfaction, public relations, and content marketing. My experience as an AGM & Sales and Events Manager at The Ten Bells ELPC allowed me to build and maintain a robust client database while implementing strategic sales plans that increased profits. I have a proven track record of successfully managing events, ensuring compliance with regulations, and enhancing client engagement.
