What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior role running high-energy events or marketing programs where I can lead operations, grow audience engagement, secure partnerships, and mentor teams.

I am a dynamic, results-driven extreme sports and events manager with 15 years' experience in marketing, event planning, and project management across South Africa. I have planned, organized, and executed skateboarding, BMX and entertainment events—managing venue selection, artist booking, sponsorships, vendor relations, permits, budgeting, and on-site operations to deliver memorable experiences.

My background includes roles as Coordinator, Project Manager and District Secretary where I led marketing campaigns, improved participant retention through post-event evaluations, and developed support programs for creatives. I combine practical field experience with strong leadership, communication and problem-solving skills to drive attendance, brand visibility and profitable events.
