What I'm looking for

Event Marketing Role with a focus on strategy and execution

With over 9 years of experience in the tech industry, I specialise in designing and delivering impactful event strategies that drive brand awareness, foster community, and generate measurable results. My career highlights include:

• Building successful event formats that foster community, meaningful connections, and knowledge-sharing among key audiences.
• Managing flagship trade show participation to generate leads and engage audiences through interactive demos and customer success stories.
• Designing educational and collaborative customer learning sessions that unlocked new opportunities for business growth.

I thrive in roles that blend strategic planning and creative execution. Whether orchestrating complex logistics, engaging with customers onsite, or finding solutions to last-minute challenges, I bring an empathetic, organised, and human-first approach to every project.

Being an INFP means I’m all about finding purpose, staying creative, and building meaningful connections. I like to approach work in a way that feels true to my values, always aiming to make a difference. I’m naturally empathetic, which helps me understand different perspectives, and my curiosity keeps me excited about solving problems and exploring new ideas.
