What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values inclusivity and offers opportunities for professional growth.

Since 2017, I have been an Events Manager at The Tablet Academy, where I have embraced the world of technology and training. My role involves creating and managing events, including online webinars and workshops, while ensuring inclusivity for all participants. I have developed skills to adapt to changing environments and assist in delivering training sessions on accessible technology.

Prior to my current position, I worked as a Disability Sports Coach at Telford and Wrekin Leisure, where I focused on creating club schedules and supporting coaches. My experience also includes day-to-day operations at a sports center, where I was responsible for health and safety, cash handling, and setting up sporting events. My educational background includes a BA (Hons) in Adventure Tourism and Outdoor Recreation from the University of Derby, Buxton.
