What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that challenges my skills and fosters professional growth.

I am a focused and well-organised professional with over 12 years of experience as an Executive Assistant and 8 years in events management. Driven and ambitious, I bring a meticulous eye for detail and exceptional planning skills to every project. My ability to thrive on new challenges allows me to consistently exceed expectations.

One of my major achievements includes leading the Charity of the Year Committee, where I organised high-profile fundraising events that raised over £250,000. This experience ignited my passion for event management and provided valuable leadership experience. Currently, as a Wedding Manager, I oversee the planning and execution of approximately 60 weddings annually, ensuring exceptional client satisfaction and seamless event execution.
