What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my event planning skills while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

I am a dedicated Senior Events Coordinator with extensive experience in planning and executing successful events. My role at The Garden Venue Hotel has honed my skills in budget management, vendor coordination, and on-site management, ensuring every event runs smoothly from inception to completion. I thrive in fast-paced environments and excel at developing comprehensive timelines and logistics plans that meet client expectations.

In addition to my event coordination expertise, I have a strong background in project management and quality assurance from my time at WNS. Here, I have been responsible for mentoring team members and ensuring adherence to the Software Development Lifecycle. My diverse experience also includes roles in underwriting and claims processing, where I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills that are essential in any fast-moving business environment.
