I'm offering
Having an educational and professional background on events, PR and Communication, marketing, and hospitality, and living in several different cities and countries in my life I believe that I have the necessary people skills as well as all analytical and organizational skills to be the right person to any event or project. I am a flexible and reliable team player, a fast learner, and can quickly assess facts and data. I love working with people, I love a fast-paced life and I love to grab on to what I do 100%. I love the thrill of events, the problems that come with it and especially solving them and putting something great out there for everyone to enjoy. Happiness is key for me. Putting a wonderful event together and seeing people enjoy it is the reason I do what I do. Once I get involved with a company and/or project it becomes my heart and soul. Just started my limited company called Candiem Ltd. to perform all freelance activities for events and projects.
